Toshiba Satellite Pro U300-10U review
The Toshiba Satellite Pro U300-10U is the perfect laptop for the frequent traveller, but has a slightly larger screen and more beefed up specs than you'd find on most ultraportables. It also looks good, with a metallic-looking grey lid and smooth curves, and has plenty of storage space Read more

Public services regulator, Aresep, has called on local water utilities to improve the quality of rural water and sanitation systems.
A study by Aresep of 80 rural water and systems run by local local water and sewerage associations (Asadas*) found that water meters and proper disinfection systems were lacking, and that pipes needed to be replaced. Most users rely on septic tanks because there are no sewerage and wastewater treatment systems.
Asadas run 1864 rural water supply systems, which serve 1.2 million people. They operate independently under a delegation agreement with the national water and sewerage utility AyA.
Aresep proposed measures to protect intake works and water catchment areas from contamination. A study by the National Water Laboratory, published in August 2010, revealed that 31% of rural water supplies were contaminated.
In August 2010, AyA president Oscar Nuñez announced that US$ 480 million was needed to improve and maintain rural water supply systems.

Hand-drawn havoc
Buster Red is a vertical-scrolling arcade shooter with frenetic pacing and a cool and colorful pen-and-ink aesthetic.
Your ship is constantly firing in Buster Red (no fire button needed), and you control movement by touching and dragging around the screen--a system that works surprisingly well most of the time, although occasionally your finger does get in the way, requiring quick repositioning. You also tap the screen to activate temporary or one-off "Buster Moves," such as a forward-firing beam, screen-filling electricity, or a giant, slow-moving fireball. Your ship can hold two "Moves" at once, which you pick … Read more

Governor declares state of emergency as rainstorm drenches region
A third day of rain pushed eastern Massachusetts to a tipping point today as a relentless northeaster sent rivers and streams spilling over their banks, overwhelmed sewer systems, flooded major roads and forced hundreds to leave their homes ahead of advancing waters.
The unusually persistent late-winter storm, which dropped more than 10 inches of rain on Boston over a 72-hour span, prompted Governor Deval Patrick to declare a state of emergency and forced the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to empty untreated sewage into Quincy Bay for the first time in five years.
In Waltham, where the storm-choked Charles River had surged to its highest level in recent memory and the city opened a temporary shelter to handle the rush of evacuees, Patrick said the storm had inflicted heavy damage across swaths of the state.
"The sheer volume of water is the Number One problem right now,'' Patrick said at an afternoon press conference. "I've never seen flooding like this."
As the storm set a one-day precipitation record and appeared destined to be marked one of the worst in more than a decade, officials anxiously watched strained dams and bridges. And, perhaps in testament to the wearying ubiquity of water, an MBTA official believed he spotted a fish skittering across the platform at the commuter rail station in Wilmington, which was closed temporarily at the height of the flooding.
With the rising Charles posing a growing threat to the Moody Street dam in Waltham, crews brought in sandbags after being unable to open several gates atop a spillway to relieve the pressure on the dam.
"It's obviously pretty much at capacity," said Rick Sullivan Jr., commissioner of the Department of Conservation and Recreation . Sullivan said engineers are not concerned about a breach, but planned to bring in small boulders to bolster a dam wall beside a historic mill building.
In West Warwick, R.I., crews scrambled to shore up a dam on the Pawtuxet River, which had surged to a record 14 feet.
The storm was expected to begin moving out to sea overnight, but officials warned that floodwaters would likely continue to wreak havoc and hamper recovery efforts.
"A number of rivers may not crest until Tuesday or Wednesday," said Scott MacLeod, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. "It's going to take a while for all this water to make its way to some of the larger rivers."
Along the coast, high waves crashed against the shoreline, leading to heavy erosion. In Topsfield, the swollen Ipswich River flooded Route 1, closing the thoroughfare in both directions for hours. In Melrose, flooding closed portions of the Fellsway and forced the evacuation of some 150 residents of a public housing complex. In Quincy, emergency crews used boats to evacuate some 100 tenants of a seven-story apartment building on Furnace Parkway, and several dozen others fled swamped homes elsewhere in the city.
In Peabody, often hard-hit by heavy rainfall, much of downtown was closed, with some city streets under four feet of water. At one point, firefighters used a motor boat to get down Walnut Street, where a car had started to float.
"When you get six inches of rain, where is it going to go?" asked Chris Tighe, the city's emergency management director. "We need it to stop raining."
In Newton, a 50-foot-wide sinkhole opened yesterday beneath a portion of the Green Line, washing out the track bed and likely shutting down service for days to come. In Boston, subway crews near Fenway Park laid down sandbags near a tunnel entrance to prevent a repeat of 1996, when flooding from the nearby Muddy River caused millions of dollars in damage.
The river, just over 7 feet before the storm, had risen to over 15 feet today before it began to recede.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino assembled response teams to survey the damage from the northeaster, which some officials described as a once-in-a-generation event.
State officials kept watchful eyes on several dams, particularly the collapsing, two-century-old Forge Pond Dam in Freetown, which threatened to give way in February. "We have it under a 24-hour watch," Sullivan said.
The Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees 31 federal dams in New England, said the structures were operating normally despite the intense rainfall.
Travel around eastern Massachusetts proved a chore. Unlike major snowstorms, when schools and workplaces typically close, many were open today, bringing large numbers of commuters to waterlogged roads. During the morning rush hour, commutes were twice as long as usual, and nearly as bad in the evening. On Route 2 near Alewife Station in Cambridge, floods had closed four of six lanes, causing delays throughout the area. Those searching for small-road shortcuts found that many of those were closed, too.
Flights at Logan International Airport were delayed, as were several bus routes.
"It's been raining since Saturday morning," Jeffrey Mullan, the state transportation secretary, said this afternoon. "It's just a lot of water."
Officials were uncertain how long the problems would linger, but anticipated that Tuesday's commute could see continued flooding at Route 1 in Topsfield, Route 20 in Sudbury, and Route 2 near Alewife Station.
"This storm is just constantly evolving," said Colin Durrant, spokesman for the state transportation department. "We're just going to have to wait and see what happens to the waters that have risen."
The storm also overburdened septic systems. With its plant on Nut Island in Quincy overflowing, the MWRA was forced to empty untreated waste into Quincy Bay.
"It's really to save the station," said Ria Convery, a MWRA spokesman. "If it fills up with water, we've got bigger troubles."
Convery said the controlled release is mostly water and is permitted under environmental regulations in an emergency. Officials plan to test the water for elevated bacteria levels. Raw sewage was also released into the Mystic River.
The Nut Island plant feeds the larger treatment plant on Deer Island, which has been running at capacity for 48 hours. Each day, the plant has handled 1.3 billion gallons of flow, compared to 360 million on a normal day.
Forecasters said the rain is expected to taper off, but warned that many flooded rivers will not return to normal levels for days.
"Nothing is going to drain like it usually does," said Matthew Belk, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Taunton.
Battling soggy basements and swamp-like lawns, residents could readily testify.
"It looks like a tornado went through here," said Cheryl Lovett, a Melrose resident who saw a falling pine tree pull down two telephone poles. "My neighbor's yard looks like a pool. I'm expecting to see ducks running through there in a minute."
Through all the gloom and bother, Gwyneth Sheen remained upbeat. Her basement in Brighton had flooded for the first time in 16 years. But she saw a gleam through the drear.
"At least we dont have to shovel it," she said.
John Ellement and John Guilfoil of the Globe staff and correspondents Shana Wickett, Jessica Rudis, Alix Roy, and Jason Woods contributed to this report.

Elizabeth Harvey studies the development of children with ADHD. The primary goal of her research is to examine the developmental trajectories of emotion regulation and associated aspects of emotion processing from age 3 to age 6 in children with clinically significant levels of ADHD symptomatology.
In her year as a Family Research Scholar, she will develop a grant proposal for a project entitled, "A Longitudinal Study of Emotion Regulation in Preschool Children with Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder." In her study, 3 year old children with and without significant ADHD symptomatology will take part in extensive child and family assessments annually until age 6. Her work examines how emotion regulation develops in preschoolers with ADHD symptoms compared to their typically developing counterparts, using both behavioral and physiologically measures of emotion regulation. She will also examine whether different emotion regulation systems (e.g., behavioral, cognitive, affective, and physiological) change together over time, and will examine the role of child characteristics (e.g., neurocognitive functioning) and family, school, and peer interactions in the development of emotion regulation in preschool children with or at risk for ADHD.
Dr. Harvey was also a Family Research Scholar in 2005-06 where she followed 200 children who exhibited elevated levels of hyperactivity or aggression at age 3 as well as a control group of children. This study aimed to examine child and family variables that may predict which children develop ADHD, ADHD/ODD, and which children do not develop either disorder.

Location :
Three Rivers, California
Horse Creek
[ 9/10 ]
Absolutely lovely campground, great lake views. Crowded at weekends - can be hard to find a good site. Some sites sloping. Operated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It can be reserved through ReserveAmerica.
Lone Pine, California
Diaz Lake Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Lovely campground with views of the Sierra Nevada and the lake. Very quiet and few visitors when we were there. Highly recommended.
Death Valley National Park, California
Panamint Springs Resort (Privately Owned)
[ 5/10 ]
Good campground for access to Death Valley - 1000 ft altitude means not as hot as the campgrounds in the valley floor. The campground manager was quite abrupt - in fact rude might be a better word.
Lake Isabella, California
Paradise Cove Campground
[ 6/10 ]
Nice campground with good views over Lake Isabella. Quite a lot of road noise from Hwy 178 behind the campground.
Bass Lake, California
Lupine-Cedar Bluffs
[ 9/10 ]
Excellent campground - spacious sites, many with a good view of the lake.
Yosemite National Park, California
Upper Pines Campground (NPS Campground)
[ 7/10 ]
Good campground - feels spacious even when full, which it will almost always be. The best sites are the ones near the edge, overlooking the creek.
Gustine, California
San Luis Creek Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Great campground, quiet with lovely lake views.
Half Moon Bay, California
Half Moon Bay State Beach
[ 8/10 ]
Stayed here for one night in to our rented motorhome. Good campground, quite spacious even though very busy. Recommended.

March 1, 2014 - I had purchased all my grand nieces and nephews a full set of these last year. I live in Florida and did not need one for myself. However, I went to MI for a holiday and had perfect cause to buy a set for myself and was glad of it. I love the fleece. Love the purple. Love the level of warmth. I will be able to use it in Florida on those super chilly winter eves too. Excellent1
February 21, 2014 - the gloves and scarf was the same color but the hat was not. I ordered the purple and only got the gloves and scarf in that color. The paw prints was different colors also.
February 10, 2014 - VERY soft, VERY warm, and always in my purse if not being worn. My fingers are always cold, and I love having these nearby. Most gloves don't warm already cold hands... these do!
January 29, 2014 - very soft ,warm & lovely!
January 28, 2014 - The scarf is so warm, I love it. Only wished I could have gotten the blue one. Well worth the price.

Looks to me like the slightly different angle of the shot caught a reflection or some light from somewhere else in the room. Sorry, I've never put much faith in ghosts!
Neat pictures!
You need to have a talk with Pets and Tower. They seem to find stuff like that all the time.
That's interesting.
I was actually asking because I was at a fair and I randomly felt like taking a picture of this open spot in some trees. Not something I'd usually snap in the dark. When I developed the pictures there were a huge amount of orbs. At the time I didn't know what that meant but I researched it later.
And the fairground was on a civil war battle field......
Just saying.
Umm - is it condensation? Do you think that they manufacture special effects (ooooh - that sounds like a conspiracy theory!) but seriously, what do you think it is (was?) Did you get any spooky feelings while there?
I see dead people. Really. The picture with the reflection looks like a girl/woman in a long white dress. Classic example of pareidolia on my part though, I always see figures and images that don't exist. For example, the image of Jesus was ingrained in my wardrobe when I was a child, I first noticed it one day while I was doing sit ups and after that it's all I could see. Anyhoo, what do you see?
Hey JR, it's whatever you think it is! Really, as Spidey said 91rewoT (tower) and I have taken some odd photos. I realize most of the orbs in our pics are just a fault of the digital camera but we do have one of a creepy clown on top of a train car next to a canal in a small town and two orbs appear very vividly. We have another shot taken seconds later, same exact spot and there is nothing glowing in that one. We've studied the photo without the orbs to make sure there wasn't anything shiny that could have caught the sun for a second or two but there is nothing there to make that happen. I am convinced (maybe because of the clown, train car and canal! Too wierd!) that thsese orbs are "something". I think the picture is in an album on one of our pages.

- The Swiss National Bank is canceling dividends to shareholders for the first time since its founding in 1907 after it booked a $16.6B loss on its gold holdings in 2013, swamping currency gains and the profit on a sale of former UBS assets. The bank will also not be making any payments to the 26 Swiss cantons (states) for the first time since 1991.
- The SNB held 1,040 metric tons of the yellow metal as of the end of 2012, and the big loss last year may (or may not) dent a movement which would require the central bank hold at least 20% of its assets in gold - a proposal the bank is strongly resisting.
- "Anyone who bought gold after 2010 is currently in the loss zone," says Bank Vontobel's Andreas Megg.
- After a big start to 2014, gold is flat on today's session at $1,240 per ounce.

- Maybe most interesting in wake of the debt deal is the action in the dollar and Treasurys - both of which signal the Fed taper is out of the picture for some time. Yesterday's Beige Book indicated slowing economic growth across 4 of 12 Fed districts.
- Off another 5 basis points in morning action, the 10-year Treasury yield is down to 2.62% from 2.76% just ahead of the deal announcement yesterday. TLT +0.6%, TBT -1.3%.
- The dollar (UUP, UDN) is getting hit across the board, with the euro (FXE), pound (FXB), yen (FXY), and swissie (FXF), aussie (FXA), and loonie (FXC) all posting significant gains. The Swiss franc is the strongest, up 1.1%.

- The Swiss National Bank reiterated Thursday that its franc (FXF) ceiling is "essential" and kept the cap at 1.20 per euro.
- "There's absolutely no reason to give [it up]," SNB President Thomas Jordan said earlier this month in an interview.
- With the economic situation in the eurozone still tenuous (at best), "safe haven positions have [remained] far stickier than most investors thought possible," a UBS currency strategist tells Bloomberg.
- As expected, the SNB also kept the band for its benchmark rate unchanged at 0-0.25%.

- S&P 500 (SPY) futures +1.1% following Larry Summers pulling out of the race to be Fed chief. Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and DJIA (DIA) +1%.
- 10-year Treasury futures are up nearly a full point, translating into about a 10 basis point dip in the 10-year Treasury yield, which closed Friday at 2.88%.
- Eurodollar futures are partying, the December 2016 contract up a full 17 basis points - in other words, nearly one 25 basis point Fed rate hike has been erased on the Summers news. Still, at 97.33, the Dec. 2016 contract is pricing in nearly 250 bps in hikes between now and then. The Eurodollar market has always been a great repository of market angst, and to say the taper and Summers were making players nervous would be putting it mildly.
- The greenback is lower across the board, down about half a percent vs. the euro (FXE), pound (FXB), yen (FXY), swissie (FXF), and loonie (FXC), and off a full percent vs. the aussie (FXA).

- The 10-year yield fell to as low as 2.70% overnight, but is currently 3 bps above yesterday afternoon at 2.74%. TLT -0.4% premarket.
- Europe's off moderately and Asia fell inline with yesterday's decline in the U.S., but crude oil surged more than $3 per barrel to $112 before falling back to just above $109 at the moment.
- The dollar (UUP) is stronger across the board, with the euro (FXE), cable (FXB), yen (FXY), swissie (FXF), and loonie (FXC) all off somewhere in the area of 0.5% against the greenback. As is typical of late, the aussie's (FXA) decline is somewhat higher, -0.8%.

- Moving along with the precious metals over Syrian tension is crude oil, with both WTI crude (USO) and Brent (BNO) up more than 1.6%. WTI at $107.50 per barrel is threatening to take out levels last seen in the Spring of 2011.
- The greenback is also catching a bid, moderately higher against the euro (FXE), cable (FXB), and the loonie (FXC), but sharply higher vs. the aussie (FXA). The dollar is losing a good bit of ground against the yen (FXY), and off just a bit vs. the Swiss franc (FXF).

- Rising rates, the decline in stocks, and escalating violence in Egypt provided no bid for the greenback which fell across the board today.
- The dollar (UUP -0.7%) lost more than 1% against the Swiss franc (FXF +1%) and nearly 1% vs. the yen (FXY +0.8%) and cable (FXB +0.9%). The euro (FXE +0.7%) gained nearly three quarters of one percent.
- Typically the first to sell off when markets get a bit panicky, even the loonie (FXC +0.2%) and the aussie (FXA) picked up ground against the U.S. unit.
- A reason? Maybe the commodity sector (DBC +1%) - it was notably strong with metals, energy, and the grains all higher.

- The Swiss National Bank will abolish its cap of 1.20 francs (FXF) to the euro once the SNB starts increasing interest rates, which are at zero, bank Vice President Jean-Pierre Danthine says. The EUR-CHF rate is 1.2307.
- "The day the SNB decides to raise rates, there can no longer be a restricting minimum exchange rate," Danthine says. "Today the absolute priority is the cap, which we will keep in place as long as necessary.
- The SNB imposed the limit in September 2011 in order to prevent deflation and a recession. However, the SNB's ultra-loose monetary policy has led to soaring house prices and fears of overheating.

Monday, Jul 82013, 8:41 AMThe dollar (UUP) and the euro (FXE) should continue as the favored currencies among developed economies (they're currently #1 and #2 YTD), says UBS, thanks to stronger U.S. growth and eased political risk in the EU. Their gains will come at the expense of the safe-haven Swiss franc (FXF) and the commodity-linked aussie (FXA). |Monday, Jul 82013, 8:41 AM| Comment!
Wednesday, Jun 52013, 10:17 AMSafe havens haven't been so safe lately (see gold, see dividend stocks), and hedge funds are gearing up to attack another, says SocGen - the Swiss Franc (FXF). As Fed tapering draws near, yield differentials between the greenback and the swissie should increase at the same time the SNB continues to pledge a weaker franc. "All richly valued 'safe havens' are potentially perilous assets when liquidity is about to dry up." |Wednesday, Jun 52013, 10:17 AM| 2 Comments
Wednesday, May 222013, 7:35 AMThe Swiss franc tumbles to its lowest level in 2 years after SNB chief Thomas Jordan says a raising of the 1.20 euro/franc floor and/or negative interset rates are among the steps the bank could take. The swissie (FXF) is off 0.4% vs. the greenback, but more importantly down 0.7% vs. the euro to CHF 1.2606 - the 1.20 floor seemingly miles away. No crisis here. |Wednesday, May 222013, 7:35 AM| Comment!

Jan18 fashionFront Row CoutureFriday FindShateria Moragne-el Friday Find: Front Row Couture (pictured above: Front Row Couture Creator, Shateria Moragne-el) Oooo I love stumbling up on a great fashion find! Especially one where I know exactly how to wear it … this one included ::rick ross grunt:: Shateria Moragne-el (aka: girlfriend to rapper Rick Ross), launched her innovative luxury brand, Front Row Couture … and hunny, this line is everything! It's fresh, classic, simple, and from the looks of it, great quality. Those are all essential characteristics to have in the threads lining the walls of your closet. One of the things I love most about the Front Row Couture collection is how effortless it is. Her clothing and designs ensure comfort, confidence, and appeal. Front Row Couture represents unmatched style and freedom — inspiring its consumers to be seen on the scene and never settle for anything less than the Front Row. I can dig it Shateria. Here are some of my favorite pieces from the Front Row Couture collection. So me! First up, these red, drawstring waist leather pants … Ohh Emm Gee. Total must-have. And here they are again in black and white. Perfect way to rock the sporty-chic look. The collection is right on trend as far as the leather goes (fine by me). There's a little something for work, play, and the weekends in this collection. Peep the subtle detailing along the shoulders of the top. The small details are what make pieces unique. No word on pricing just yet (I know, I'm anxious to know too), but for more information and purchasing inquiries you can visit the Front Row Couture website here. (UPDATE: The Front Row Couture pop up shop is now open here and those amazing joggers are $975. Early birthday gift anyone?) The collection is said to debut its autumn/winter collection in the 2013 New York Fashion Week show sponsored by Elle.com and Style 360 on February 12, 2013. What do you think? Would you rock the collection? Permalink

Aug17 Friday findCoco & Breezyfashionaccessories Friday Find: Coco & Breezy's Exposed X-Ray Vision Backpack In other where the heck have I been news, todays dope "Friday Find" is from Coco & Breezy. These ladies are talented even outside of designing original and unique sunglasses for all the cool kids. I may be late, but I just stumbled up on their Exposed X-Ray Vision Backpack which gives the illusion of looking through an x-ray device to see the contents inside the backpack (duh lol). Coco & Breezy said it better: "The metallic represents the mirror to see the reflection that beholds one. You see the outside of a person, which has hidden means. The mystery that you thought was enclosed behind the shades of C&&B …. are not #Exposed." The Exposed X-Ray Vision Backpack retails at $60 and can be found on their website. Check out the pics of the backpack below. Bonus: You can receive a complimentary "X-Ray Vision" pouch with the purchase of the exposed backpack. Gotta protect your shades right?! Would you rock it?

Joey Chestnut Eats 69 Hot Dogs, Breaks Record at Nathan's Competition
by Free Britney at .At least Joey Chestnut is overeating today more than you are. By a lot.
Crushing his fellow gluttons at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition on Coney Island, Joey devoured 69 franks, a new personal record.
The moment where he tops his personal best of 68 ... magical.
Matt Stone finished in second place with a paltry 51 in 10 minutes.
Chestnut triumphed last year with 62 hot dogs devoured, but outdid himself here in 2013, capturing the $10,000 prize and coveted mustard-yellow championship belt.
Which will probably need to be resized ASAP.

A Costco warehouse in southern California is apologizing over a mistake involving bibles -- this religious scripture was labeled as "fiction."
Pastor Caleb Kaltenbach was in the store and found some bibles, but they had the word "fiction" written on the price tag.
Kalthenbach couldn't believe his eyes. All the bibles inside the store were in the fiction section.
So he pulled out his phone and snapped a picture. He posted a photo of the book on Twitter with the comment, "Costco has Bibles for sale under the genre of FICTION Hmmmm......" And once it hit social media, a lot of people were shocked.
"You have some people who are ultra fundamentalist Christians who say we need to boycott Costco and I don't think that's the answer," said Kalthenbach.
He contacted Costco managers to get an explanation. They called it human error and vowed to fix it.
Later, Costco released this statement to FOX News:
"Costco's distributor mislabeled a small percentage of the Bibles, however we take responsibility and should have caught the mistake. We are correcting this with them for future distribution. In addition, we are immediately relabeling all mislabeled Bibles. We greatly apologize for this error."
Costco says a distributor mislabeled a small percentage of bibles before they were sent to the store located in Simi Valley, just north of Los Angeles. Costco is taking responsibility and says they should have caught the mistake.
The company will re-label the bibles and they apologized for the error.

A small earthquake startled residents of Rockford, Mercer County, on Saturday, March 13 at 11:02 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Felt reports were received from Rockford, north to Ohio City in Van Wert County, and from about four miles south of Rockford. All described a loud boom followed by a brief shaking. Many did not realize that it was an earthquake. The epicenter of this earthquake is near that of a 2.5-magnitude event on January 30, 2004. Both earthquakes are close to the trend of the Anna-Champaign fault, which is a major structure within the Anna or Fort Wayne Rift. This feature trends northwest from Champaign County, Ohio to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Historically, this rift zone has had many earthquakes, including damaging earthquakes on March 2 and March 9, 1937. Most of the historical earthquakes were centered in Shelby, Auglaize, and Allen Counties. Prior to the January 30, 2004 Rockford earthquake, no events had been noted so far north in Mercer County. Individuals who felt the March 13 earthquake are encouraged to submit a felt-report form. This information assists the Ohio Seismic Network in determining the extent of the area in which the earthquake was felt and potential future seismic risk.

1) Can anyone find a positive, or even neutral use of the word "anarchy" before the 19th century?
2) Is there any reason to use the word if in its modern political context if:
a) If the word came about as a word to directly to undermine capitalism and property
b) there are a million forms of loopy groups that all use the term and they all seem to contradict each other (except perhaps in their hatred for all things bourgoise) and the use as a "pro capitalist" term was a late addition.
nah. Rothbard apparently used it to try and form an alliance with the left, and it stuck. i think we are long past that, and the alliance didn't even work. despite being true to its etymology, we need a different word.
voluntaryism misses the point, as does the NAP, because these merely boil down to reassertions of a given property rights scheme. every socialist is a voluntaryist and adheres to a NAP; it is just a different definition of voluntary and of aggression! the real action is in how one defines voluntary and aggression, and then we are back to property rights schemes. these are feel-good terms that really tell the audience nothing new. they are circumlocutions masquerading as novel assertions.
again, these terms merely reassert a property ethic but dress it up as if they actually saying something new. this is a common hand-wave in many fields, even physics. the utility of it for the presenter is that she can utter something that rings well in the ear and sounds obviously good, but is really a backdoor cowing of the audience into accepting her underlying system of property rights. that a socialist can1 use the same words in defense of her ethic oughtta be a red flag.
1and does: "taxes are voluntary"
I thought Rothbard was against the use of the term. "Anarchist". He preferred anti-statist instead.
The word to me seems to be used primarily to prompt attention. It's a powerful word and a good way to throw someone off beat. Especially to those who live in the left/right false dichotomy.
The definition of aggression used by adherents of the NAP is very clear. And thus, it isn't a term someone else can use, unless they define aggression differently.
But any use of language which deviates from a particular meaning will have this problem. I can call a dog a popsicle, are you going to argue that the word popsicle is somehow at fault for that mis-categorization?
William:2) Is there any reason to use the word if in its modern political context if: a) If the word came about as a word to directly to undermine capitalism and property b) there are a million forms of loopy groups that all use the term and they all seem to contradict each other (except perhaps in their hatred for all things bourgoise) and the use as a "pro capitalist" term was a late addition.
Anarchy is apolitical. I prefer to think of it as it is meant to be understood. An-archy. Without rulers.
The same people who abuse anarchy, also abuse capitalism and property, so how many words you wanna surrender Bill? We can play this game all day long, the spazoids can hijack a term, we yield it. They hijack another, we yield it. We can play this game ad infinitum.
I prefer voluntaryist myself. But I like razzing people with anarchist.
A similar discussion at The Daily Bell today, coincidence?
I will make my same post here as I did there, in reply to the suggestion to use "voluntarism" instead:
@Mac "A satisfactory alternative...that accomplishes this goal is "voluntarism"." I would agree, this is a wonderful term and is quite descriptive. However, I still choose to not let go of the term "anarchy" in the true meaning as TDB has described, and as I have used the term here in the recent past. Perhaps I am hard-headed, but I like to think my reasons run deeper. We have lost too many words that describe liberty and freedom. These have been lost to new definitions, co-opted to a) make the discussion of liberty difficult due to a lack of vocabulary, and b) replace liberty with the state, because those co-opted terms are now defined in state-enabling ways. Imagine the term "voluntarism" takes hold, in the way you define it. Is it so difficult to see the state turning this to its advantage? We will soon find ourselves "volunteering" for many state dictated obligations (aren't our income taxes already described as "voluntary"?). We will "volunteer" for national service, in the spirit of volunteerism that our patriot (there is another co-opted term) forefathers held. This is in the great liberal (there's another one gone down the drain) tradition of our country. Somewhere we have to say words have meaning. We shouldn't have to make up new ones just to have these stolen from us as well.
my point was that voluntary and NAP echo nicely in the ear but they are not self-explanatory terms that themselves trace out an ethic, even if some seem to act as if they are. since it all comes down to having the state or not, why not focus on that? i think it is much harder to misinterpret "state" or "large central government" than to misinterpret "voluntary" and "aggression" or "coercion".
Liberty Student:But I like razzing people with anarchist.
Self-defeating uphill battle, I'm afraid: European anarchists grow more violent, coordinated.
Zangelbert Bingledack:my point was that voluntary and NAP echo nicely in the ear but they are not self-explanatory terms that themselves trace out an ethic, even if some seem to act as if they are.
Just because they don't work for you, doesn't mean they don't work for others. Your values are only your own.
Zangelbert Bingledack:since it all comes down to having the state or not, why not focus on that?
That's not all that it comes down to. It comes down to the use of force. Not only institutional force.
Zangelbert Bingledack:i think it is much harder to misinterpret "state" or "large central government" than to misinterpret "voluntary" and "aggression" or "coercion".
We can't control whether or not people misinterpret us. All we can do is be as precise and explicit as possible. I don't think a lot is gained by using the right words to express the wrong thing, when we can use the right words to express the right thing.
z1235: Liberty Student:But I like razzing people with anarchist. Self-defeating uphill battle, I'm afraid: European anarchists grow more violent, coordinated.
I don't think it is self-defeating. I don't have hard numbers, but I am pretty sure I have helped direct a couple dozen people to anarcho-capitalism.
to argue, that some words are not enough self-explanatory is kinda stupid. There is no one single word that can explain any of my views on ethics or liberty. There is no single sentence that can do that either. It has to be whole paragraph so that the other person could get what I mean, when I say, that I don't believe in state etc. And even that wouldn't be enough. So labels are just that - labels. They can give a sterotype, but not explanation.
(english is not my native language, sorry for grammar.)
Vis-a-vis unfriendly ideologies my route of attack is straight to the state. Whatever gets me there fastest. Saying "anarchy", pointing out corporatocracy, showing the gun in the room, etc. I feel like its a *race* because you can't let them talk about their little self flattering pet reasons for being a republocrat. Gay marriage, the minimum wage, and other hot button issues are too convoluted and heated to be good starting points. People build their self image around how freaking compassionate they are for handicapped minorities. I always try to derail them "Should the USG increase the minimum wage in Canada? No? Because Canadians have a right to choose for themselves what wages to set. Why don't Americans have that luxury? Why do you own Americans? I won't attack you, why will you attack me?". So yeah, whatever gets you out of the mainstream framework as soon as possible. I'm usually comfortable going with anarcho capitalist, but I'm not always the one initiating the conversation. Whatever you call yourself, you have to have guts. For me, politics is utterly serious. Holding your ground is do or die.
I'm finding that "Rothbardian Anarchist" is growing on me.
I am not ashamed to call myself an anarchist. I do not care about the negative connotations.
The same people who abuse anarchy, also abuse capitalism and property, so how many words you wanna surrender Bill?
I'll signal this sentence out as it seems the best representative to what I am trying to say:
1) The actual classic Greek term, which I will concede we may not have to care about, is meant to be used in the context of undesirable social chaos and disorder. That is the more proper classical meaning. Furthermore, I think it was used this way in the West until at least the 1800's. I already suspect the undermining of the word has caused so many "hyphenated" types of the word "anarchy".
2) When the term was used in a political fashion to imply a positive outcome; it was done by leftists who were inherently anti-capitalist and perhaps anti-property from the start. I won't say that some were not amazing people or not worth noting or drawing inspiration from (such as Benjamin Tucker), I just don't know if we are in this tradition, and the word was used too late.
3) From my personal experience, outside of this site, it has been an uphill battle to start even with the term "market anarchist", much less "anarcho-capitlaist".
* Note: It is really amazing and I think, necessary that Rothbard was able to bring together names like Burke, Tucker, Spooner, Acton, Nock, Mencken, Stirner, Bastiat, Mises, etc. I just don't know if the word "anarchy" is either a correct or desirable term to use. It isn't a surrender of a word, it is wondering if the word should be used. I just don't know Political words I happen to like at the moment: Burkean Whig, Radical Liberal (perhaps for some of you Rothbardian Liberal), Radical Whig, Radical Anti-Federalist, radical propertarian.
William:1) The actual classic Greek term, which I will concede we may not have to care about, is meant to be used in the context of undesirable social chaos and disorder.
What if undesirable social chaos and disorder is slavery and a system of institutional theft/violence?
Anarchy is a condition, not a system. You should be wary of calling yourself an anarchist as it can mean all sorts of things and nothing at all.
The fallacies of intellectual communism, a compilation - On the nature of power
Stranger: Anarchy is a condition, not a system. You should be wary of calling yourself an anarchist as it can mean all sorts of things and nothing at all.
just like any other word.
I think the classical Hellenistic mind may just call that tyranny as one who "rules without law".
Example: there may have been accusations that Athenian Democracy was an anarchy, but no Athenian would claim that term because the inherent word "anarchy" meant bad, just as much as tyranny or bad meant bad
I may be able to get a little more in depth as to how I think the Hellenistic mind used words and how they evolved, hell it would be fun for me, but I think that may be straining from the over all point, and any explanation I gave would be that of a mere amateur. Main point being, that all people until the 18th century used the term that way, and it is possible that word should not have been undermined.
If I wanted to state that all government as government is known are bad for example, it may just be best to say you are choosing between anarchy and tyranny.
So are you agreeing with what I was saying, or am I reading you wrong? I am reading your sentence as perhaps a more clear concise way to put what I just stated.
William:If I wanted to state that all government as government is known are bad for example, it may just be best to say you are choosing between anarchy and tyranny.
I can live with that. I'm not sure the Hellenistic mind had much relevance to you and I today.
Lol, well it is very relevant to me, but point taken. I just like to ramble on about the subject when I get a chance to. Though to be fair, Aristotle seems to be viewed pretty highly at Mises.
So, that said and not to distract from what I was saying:
a) the word since it's 1st use until the 1800's (so we are talking thousands of years) always meant "bad" and maybe just a condition of society or a symptom of a problem.
b) The word was undermined and politicized (and it I claiming it should not have been), and I am saying it was FIRST undermined by blatant anti-capitalist politics. I am also saying the the word was undermined by not only blatant loony toons, but the minute the word was undermined, it started splintering into hundreds of loony toons with hyphens,. Ex: Anarcho-"I hate capitalism A" to "anarcho- I hate capitalism Z". I will grant there are a few very notable exceptions, but still too little and too late.
c) Capitalists start to use the word "anarchy", and it seems to be an uphill battle to use the word. Should the word be used? Are we associating in people's heads/ or is there a legit dichotomy created by associating a Rothbard, a Friedman, or a Nozick with a Bakunin vs a Burke when the word "anarchy" is used. Obviously we want people to think of our tradition coming from Acton, Burke, Bastiat, etc. are we hurting our position and confusing language by using the word "anarchy"? Does it prevent productive dialogue?
This is my basic train of thought at the moment. And I am wondering if I have a legit concern.
Believe it or not, I am trying to lead up to a conclusion, but I am seeing even if I have a question at this point.
To avoid confusion, hand listeners real life words, not abstract words. To understand, see Politics and the English Language: http://mla.stanford.edu/Politics_&_English_language.pdf
William:1) The actual classic Greek term, which I will concede we may not have to care about, is meant to be used in the context of undesirable social chaos and disorder.

I already suspect the undermining of the word has caused so many "hyphenated" types of the word "anarchy".
This is very interesting. I wasn't aware that "anarchy" meant "chaos" or "disorder" even to the Ancient Greeks. Do you have any sources that support your claim?
Regardless, assuming the Ancient Greeks did ascribe such meaning to "anarchy", it would imply that the word archon didn't simply mean "ruler" to them.
The keyboard is mightier than the gun.
Non parit potestas ipsius auctoritatem.
Voluntaryism Forum
Just in case: I do not mean it in a literal 100% synonymous use of the word type of way. That is "anarchy" doesn't mean "chaos", as much as the word is used to imply a societal state of chaos, and for the Greek mind chaos is bad and contrasted with cosmos, which is good. It is simply implicit in the definitions. What we would describe as "anarchy" would be described as some form of "natural order (cosmos)" for the Greeks. That is simply how they would use their words. And for the most part I think it may have been like ths for a very very long time.
Well to be technical the word "ἀρχός " means many things such as: beginning, origin; cause, motive, principle, element, leadership, territory, empire, cornor (of a sheet, etc). Notice the word associations that may come out of this. Still my point stands, I didn't mean it in an absolute literal sense, just that "bad chaos" is implied in the word, it could not nor was ever (so far as I know) used to denote something positive for millenia.
Now on to a couple specific examples:
" For, finding the Hellenes living without laws and in scattered abodes, some oppressed by tyrannies, others perishing through anarchy, she delivered them from these evils by taking some under her protection and by setting to others her own example; for she was the first to lay down laws and establish a polity"
-Isocrates, "Panegyricus"
"And when Samuel had told them that he ought to confirm the kingdom to Saul by a second ordination of him, they all came together to the city of Gilgal, for thither did he command them to come. So the prophet anointed Saul with the holy oil in the sight of the multitude, and declared him to be king the second time. And so the government of the Hebrews was changed into a regal government; for in the days of Moses, and his disciple Joshua, who was their general, they continued under an aristocracy; but after the death of Joshua, for eighteen years in all, the multitude had no settled form of government, but were in an anarchy; after which they returned to their former government, they then permitting themselves to be judged by him who appeared to be the best warrior and most courageous, whence it was that they called this interval of their government the Judges."
-Josephus, "Antiquities"
These are just two examples, I can go on upon request. I could probably do some Latin works too (so I am could use Roman, Greek, and Hebrew thought), if you want me to show the Romans had the same view. I can also give the Hellenic text, if anyone wishes to read it, to show I'm not doing any crazy translating.
The first example was used to show how the unwanted rulership of a king is just as "chaotic" as that of rulership with no king. To be fair, tyranny did not always have a bad connotation, but by the point of this speach, it had become to mean an inherently bad rule (a lawless ruler, one could perhaps even say anarchic rule).
I brought the second example up to show that what many commentators at Mises call "anarchy" in the "Judges period" was not viewed that way among the Hebrew people. Josephus (who wrote the work in Greek) used the word "anarchy" to denote a bad societal set up before the period of Judges.
Excellent article, I wouldn't mind doing a thread on just this.
But to hammer in a point from the "Pretentious Writing" section:
"Bad writers, and
especially scientific, political, and sociological writers, are nearly always haunted by the
notion that Latin or Greek words are grander than Saxon ones..."
"Marxist writinghyena, hangman, cannibal, petty bourgeois, these gentry,
lackey, flunkey, mad dog, White Guard, etc.) consists largely of words translated from
Russian, German, or French; but the normal way of coining a new word is to use a Latin
or Greek root with the appropriate affix and, where necessary, the size formation. It is
often easier to make up words of this kind (deregionalize, impermissible, extramarital,
non-fragmentary and so forth) than to think up the English words that will cover one's
meaning. The result, in general, is an increase in slovenliness and vagueness."
Orwell hammers clearly right to the point why the word "anarchy" may have been used in the 1st place, and why the word does no good. Sorry about the font and spacing, it didn't copy and paste so well. This kind of states the conclusion I was trying to lead the dialogue to, but you beat me to it.
Once again, amazing article
It's a real shame that "nonarchist" never caught on. It's such a great word.
I call myself an anarchist because I am one, in the full sense of the word. Someone like Hoppe, Block, or Kinsella is not against rulership. I am.
My main point was it probably isn't a very good term for anyone, particularly free marketeers such as myself. But is leftists wish to use strange terms, that is their affair.
If I want to "call myself" something (or more accurately, utilize a term that could symbolize my current political aesthetics) "liberal" may be the ideal (or maybe Whig) if that term can mean opposition/ambivalence to "conservative", either left or right, thinking. That is, if the term can imply to view and speak of things in constant motion, materialistic, and independent from everything else. It would also state that while egoism is an ontological fact, the political philosophy is only good with a sort of "long haul" overview which would make a natural distaste for revolutionary activity as well as a distaste for any form of subsidy (intellectual/welfare/warfare/etc) as it is materialistic. It also would assume that civilization (meaning cities, division of labor, technology, and getting as much "stuff" as cheap as possible, etc) is a good and desirable thing, and that talk social position/status is a pointless red herring and a quixotic task. That is assuming either of those two words (liberal or whig) are salvageable, which I doubt.
As to what is or is not ruler ship/hierarchies what legal custom are you referring to at the moment? As there are only two ways the term can be coherently used; as a legal fiction or as a self evident subjective ontological reality. We can't really discuss the latter. Moreover, it makes no sense to speak of "ruler ships" that are not in place, it is creating dragons to slay. All that one can speak of are very real relationships in action, and what actual power can be used to change it in a very real specific situation.
I call myself an anarchist because I am one...is not against rulership. I am.
Perfect example of why "anarchism" should be dropped by supporters of the free market. (And excellent post William)
I find the word plurarchy to be much more descriptive of the kind of society that we must create.
Angurse, I support the free market. I don't see how that's incompatible with a dislike of cultural authoritarianism.
Wrong. There must be personal might to protect posessions in order for markets to exist. Might used in defense does not necessitate authoritarianism. An authority is someone who controls you and puts themself as superior to you. I oppose that.
Wrong. Authority - the power or right to give orders or make decisions. Since I make decisions over my possessions I am the authority. Further, if you try to take it I'm going to stop you (that is, control you). I can understand why a thief would oppose my authority however I am superior to thieves so I don't care.
vaguelyhumanoid:Wrong. There must be personal might to protect posessions in order for markets to exist. Might used in defense does not necessitate authoritarianism. An authority is someone who controls you and puts themself as superior to you. I oppose that.
This is incoherent and at best an appeal to some semantic difference. I can be the authority over my car, or my dinner or my dirty underwear.
Authority wrt property is clear ownership. You can try to call property, possessions and you can try to call authority, defensive might, but at the end of the day, you can't have free markets without property and ownership.
Angurse, LS, I feel this is sort of unnecessary as a debate because I said cultural authoritarianism, not authority over property.
So you aren't against rulership?

Majestic Theatre
115 King Street,
3 people favorited this theater
The Majestic Theatre was opened in 1906 as a vaudeville theatre. It went on to become a silment movie theatre, then was equipped for sound.
After closing as a porn movie theatre, it became a nightclub, but since September 29, 2007, has reverted back to live performances and concerts.

I loved the Majestic before it was sold and converted, except for one thing; I've never been in a theater with the rows of seats so damned close together! My knees were FIRMLY dug into the back of the seat in front. That theater HAD to have been designed for an audience of MIDGETS!!!
While that wasn't a real biggie for ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, just imagine the AGONY of sitting through ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA and 1900 !!!
It took me DAYS tor recover from those tortures! <<grin>>
As many of these photos indicate, the nightclub function of this theatre has been terminated following some shootings and other issues with violence. It is now mainly a music venue, which I visited last year. Not bad and at least they've maintained the marquee.
Why is this listed as closed? Its far from closed. In fact, from the pictures I've seen, it looks better than it has in years!
Renovated auditorium featured on the front cover of this trade journal in June, 1957: boxoffice
