Druidic Symbolism in Hollywood
The truth about the
origins of Judeo-Christianity is found in the Bible's Testaments by
unbiased and objective researchers. The truth has also been
cryptically disclosed through the ages in artwork, and in
modern times in popular movies.
us take a moment and analyze the hidden information
contained in the epics Ben Hur, Solomon and Sheba
and The Ten Commandments:
Towards the
end of
Ben Hur, the makers of the epic film begin
letting their viewers subtextually know the
truth about the life of Jesus. Ben Hur ("High Man"
or "High Sun") is on his way home after a
painful visit with his mother and sister who have been
confined to a leper colony. He comes across a great
multitude gathering to hear Jesus speaking from the
"mount." Curiously, all the way through the
film, the topography has been typically arid, barren and sandy, as one would expect to find in
most parts of Palestine, Galilee and Judea.
Suddenly, in this scene, for no apparent reason the
appearance of the topography dramatically changes.
We see green fields filled with leafy trees and
flowing river from which Ben stoops to quench his
thirst. The hills are of a type found in
Britain, not Judea or Galilee.
a strange man appears. He recognizes Ben and
walks eagerly toward him. He is Balthazar, one
of the three wise men or Magi who attended the
birth of Jesus. He has come to hear Jesus give
his sermon on the mount. The actor
playing the apostle has the appearance of
a Westerner, in fact, a Druid. He is
dressed in purple and white (the colors of the
Druids) and carries a staff. He walks through
the verdant land, across the bridge toward the
mount and, although we are not consciously aware
of it, we are in merry ol' England, not
Palestine. We are at Silbury Hill or Glastonbury
Tor, not the Sea of Galilee. Interestingly,
just in case we miss the meaning of the
symbolism, the movie's makers have Ben wearing a
cloak of Irish or Scottish
tartan. In this context the scene is uncannily
similar to one occurring toward the end of recent blockbuster movie The
Da Vinci Code,
when Sophie stands in the grounds
of Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland (on the Rose Line)
wrapped in Scottish tartan. Let us recall that Scota, daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaton, gave
her name to the land of Scotland. Let us
understand that popular movies and dramas
about ciphers, secret codes and lost relics,
etc, are themselves cryptic. They contain
valuable implications that go
unseen and undeciphered by the vast majority of
Jesus appears upon the mount to address the
multitude, we see that the makers of the
film have chosen an actor with red
hair. Jesus is also wearing white, the color
designated for the High Druid. Again we
notice the English-type countryside, atypical of the Middle East
and of that depicted throughout the film
until these scenes.
whistleblowing dramatically continues with
the fascinating scenes that follow after a
few minutes. We are taken to Calvary and the moment when Jesus is executed by the
Romans. Again the topography is distinctly
British in appearance. Looking on are eight
members of the so-called Tribes of Israel.
Their headgear is mushroom-like or even
"penis-like." However, what are we being
told subtextually about the identity of
these bizarre characters? That information
is given in the very next scene.
camera moves from the "Israelites" to the
figure of Balthazar the Druid. He appears
and stands in the shade of a tree containing
a beehive, symbol of the goddess Spes
(Roman Elpis), and the astrological sign of
Cancer. It is also a symbol of Egyptian
royalty and Masonry.
Balthazar's Caucasian features and attire go
consciously unnoticed even though they speak
volumes about the true origins of
Almost immediately, Balthazar is joined by
Ben Hur and they mournfully watch as Jesus
is crucified. The sequence obliquely lets us
know that the death of Jesus is occurring in
Britain and that the Israelites or "Jews"
are Druids.
the camera shows the scene of the
crucifixion, we see Jesus on the cross
framed against the sky. Of course, this is
pure astro-theology. The cross is
indeed to be found in a certain house
or quadrant of the heavens.
The cross in heaven
term Ben is Gaelic, meaning "hill" or
"high place." The term
Hur is Egyptian, meaning "Horus" (or
Sun). Ben Hur, therefore, does not mean "Son
of Hur," but "Son of the Sun" or "High
Sun," a reference to Aton. Hur can also be a
variant of the Germanic Herr, meaning
Another whistleblowing epic is United Artists
spectacular Solomon and Sheba, with Yul
Brenner and George Sanders. Let's take close look at
a few scenes in this fascinating movie:
In an early scene we see King Saul on
his death bed speaking to his son
Solomon. On Solomon's armor we see the
symbol of the sun. He is about to
inherit the mantle from his father, who, sidereally speaking, is the old, dying sun. Solomon's brother and rival
is Adonijah, a name that is a
combination of
or Aton, and Jah for
Jehovah/Yahweh. The name Solomon
contains the syllables denoting the sun
in the ancient languages: SOL, OM and
In the following scenes we find that
Saul (Sol) has regained enough strength
to address his people concerning his
legacy. He wishes to let them know about
Solomon's succession to the throne of
Israel. But what's this? We find that
the actor chosen to depict Saul is the
same actor (Finlay Currie) who played
Balthazar in Ben Hur (and also
St. Peter in Quo Vadis.)
Apparently, the makers of the film could
not find a more
Caucasian-looking actor. What is more, he is
yet again dressed in the colors
of the Druids. In fact, he wears the
colors of each division of the Druidic
Order. Blue signified the Ovates or
Poets. Purple designated the main body
of the Druidic Order and white was reserved for the High Druid.
While King Saul (Sol) addresses the
chiefs of the twelve tribes, he
directs his daughter to display the
emblems of the twelve tribes that
appear on the so-called Hoshen
Breastplate. However, underneath the
twelve diadems, we see what appears
to be either Nordic runes or Irish
Ogham script. There is really
nothing surprising about this when
we realize that every name of the
Twelve Tribes is of Irish origin.
The movie's makers obviously know what
the masses are never supposed to
know about their religion and god.
Interestingly the diadems of the Hoshen Breastplate were also known
as the Urim and Thummim and, like
the runes and Ogham, were used for
divining. (Here
for more.)
After Saul dies and Solomon
prepares to become the king of
Israel, he retires to meditate
and commune with Jehovah. The
scenes that follow are truly
revealing. We see Solomon
entering a Druidic Megalithic
site with
three giant ithyphallic
stones. Around these
mist-covered obelisks are four
trees. Compare the three
monoliths to those from a
typical Druidic cromlech in
As King Solomon meditates he
hears the voice of Jehovah
(Yahweh). The scene is
reminiscent of the moment when
Moses heard God addressing him
at the so-called "burning bush."
In this scene we see the sacred
tree, great megalithic
stones found throughout Britain
(as well as in Middle Eastern
countries), and sacred flame representing
Brigit, ancient Irish
goddess of the groves. Masonic
author Albert Churchward wrote
of the meaning of the three
totemic pylons held sacred by
many world cultures:
The Druids in
their temples or lodges had

Adytum was supported by

Maya in Mexico and the Incas

important revelations are
made throughout the epic
film The Ten Commandments.
On of the most important
scenes involves a startling
revelation concerning the
physiognomy of Egyptian
Moses is expelled
from Egypt, he takes
refuge with a
shepherd by the name
of Jethro - referred
to as a priest of
Midian - who lived
near Mount Sinai.
His eldest daughter
Zipporah (meaning
"bird") falls in
love with Moses, and
seeking to
ingratiate herself
with him and appear
attractive in his
eyes, remarks
enviously but
poetically on the
beauty and elegance
of Egyptian women.
The movie's dialogue
is as follows: "She
was very beautiful
wasn't she, this
woman of Egypt who
left her scar upon
your heart? Her skin
was as white as
curd, her eyes green
as the cedars
of Lebanon, her lips
honey...like the
breast of a dove,
her arms were soft,
and the wine of love
was in her veins..."
Clearly, the movie

is a indirect

Hyksos nobility to which

correctly Akhenaton,
Interestingly, the
Quran deems Jethro
to have been a
member of the

term, believed to

"those who read" to

is probably derived
from a term denoting
the ancient Druids - the true "learned
ones" - who
frequented the
Middle East in ages
vital revelation in the
movie concerns the royal
identity of the so-called
Israelites or Jews:
In the early scenes
of the film, we see
Moses' Egyptian
mother, a princess,
coming across the
basket of reeds in
which Moses lies.
When she removes the
infant her maid
notices the
child is wrapped in a piece
of cloth from a
Levite cloak. She
remarks on its
presence and asks
why it was on
the child. The
princess responds as
follows: "If my son
is covered in it, it
is a royal robe."
Her servant then
"Royal?...It's the
Levite cloth of a
Hebrew slave!" She
continues to say: "I
will not see you
make this son of
slaves a prince of
Egypt." The princess
confidently responds
by saying: "...we'll
see...you will see
him walk with his
head among the
eagles." During this
revealing scene, the
princess is also
heard to say: "I am
the Pharaoh's
daughter and my son
shall be reared in
my house as Prince
of the Two Lands."
In this particular
scene we have been
told, albeit
obliquely, that
Moses and the
Levites were Pharaonic. They
were royalty in the
land of Egypt, not
oppressed slaves. We
have been told that
Moses was a "eagle,"
that is, a
priest-king of
Above Right: In the Old Testament Book of
Exodus, we read that Moses erected a "Brazen
Standard" in the wilderness, after leaving
Egypt with the "Chosen People." This act
clearly defines Moses as a Pharaoh, or of
Pharaonic descent. His Israelites were a
powerful dynasty within Egypt, whose
desecration and megalomania compelled the
people to rise up against them. When Moses
and Aaron come to negotiate with the
Pharaoh, we also hear of rods and snakes. As
we will see later, the staff and snake
represents, among other things, the polar
axis of the earth.
serpent standard was a symbol of Egyptian
priest-kings. The Uraeus wears the double
crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. In the scene
mentioned above, from the Ten
Commandments, the princess said that she
will raise Moses to be a Prince of the Two
Lands. In other words, Moses was a Serpent
Another movie with equally important subtextual
references to the true origins of Judeo-Christianity
is the 1951 epic Quo Vadis. The title,
meaning "where are you going," was derived from a
passage in the Acts of Peter in the New Testament.
In one of the most important scenes,
Saint Peter, while walking on the Appian
Way outside Rome, hears the voice of
Jesus instructing him to return to Rome
and attend to the plight of the
Israelites who are being persecuted by
the Emperor Nero. However, in the movie rendition of the Biblical
passage, St. Paul hears the voice of
Jesus emanating from a tree. What is more,
the actor playing Saint Peter is yet
again Findlay Currie. And yet again he
is attired in the fashion of a High
Druid. The dialogue in this scene is as
follows: "These tree-tops there, do they
not bend with the wind...and that sudden
brightness coming...it is the light of
the Lord."
While kneeling to listen to the voice of
Jesus, St. Peter rests his staff, which
looks remarkably like an Pharaonic
crosier, against a large oak. This
image of the crosier or staff leaning
against a tree is a very ancient motif.
It was associated with the god Dionysus,
known to the Greeks as Iakus, Bakus or Bacchus.
Tree and staff with masks
and pipes of Bacchus.
Bacchus or Dionysus was a
prototype for the Biblical
In the movie's closing scenes the main
protagonists travel out of Rome along
the Appian Way, and pass the place where
St. Peter heard the voice of Jesus.
Peter's young companion tells the party:
"It was here the Lord spoke to us," to
which his female companion, Lygia,
replies "then this is a blessed place."
Note Lygia's fair appearance and red hair.
The final scene is of St. Peter's staff.
He inadvertently left it up against the
oak on the Appian Way after hearing the
voice of Jesus. Now we see it again with
the light of god behind it. However, the
staff has sprouted blooms and leaves. In
other words, it has become a tree. Were
the film makers attempting to emphasize
something important about the staff and
tree at the very end of their movie?
After all, what is the rod or staff that
has serpentine vines coiled about it?
In another important scene, hero
Marcus Vinicius, Tribune of Rome,
rides triumphantly into the great
city after returning from successful
conquests in the East. He salutes
Emperor Nero and is
literally "crowned" with thorns,
that is, with laurel leaves. (Here
for more information.)

crowned with thorns.
examples come from a few scenes in a
mere four epic films. We could
analyze hundreds of movies in the
same manner to gain profound insight
into the truth about the pagan
origins of Judeo-Christianity. For
instance, in the movie
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier,
when the protagonists are seconds
away from an encounter with a
Jehovah-like god, they are first
surrounded by ithyphallic pylons
that erupt violently from under the
earth to enclose them. These stones
appear identical in form to those
erected by the ancient worshipers of
Priapas, Bel, Cronus, Yahweh, and
other Earth gods. Is it just by
chance that the movie makers decided
to use these time-honored images? We
don't believe so.
the movie, the protagonists finally
locate "God" at the very center of
the universe, that is, at "Galactic
Center." Many nations and races have
elaborate myths and legends that
pertain to this region of space.
gods and shaman of the Maya, for
example, had to ascend a "tree" to
reach the door in the center of the
galaxy, whereas in Egyptian myths,
the god or hero travels on a barque
(boat) to the location. Of course,
the phrase "center of the galaxy or
universe" may subtextually refer to
the circumpolar region.

Market, Confederate streets closed by flooding
Updated On: Oct 15 2013 01:02:10 PM EDT
Overnight rains resulted in street flooding in Springfield that kept at least two streets closed Tuesday morning.
Parts of Market Street from Orange Street to Phelps Road near Downtown Jacksonville were closed early Tuesday morning. Confederate Road from Hubbard to Liberty Street was also closed because of flooding.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office announced just before 1 p.m. that the streets had reopened.
Channel 4's Melanie Lawson was told by Springfield residents that these areas near Confederate Park flood regularly.

ram : Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz (PC3 12800) CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
As you can see the ram is 1600mhz and i had read that z77 and 3570k supports up to 1600mhz.
But when i enter the bios its says that the memory frequency is 1333mhz.
Can i change the memory multiplier so that i can get the 1600mhz ? or i did something wrong when intalled the memory ?
And can you tell about the AHCI mode ? its recomended to use it ? or not? and in what its help ? ( i also have one old hdd 160 gb as a second hard drive)

Windows 7 Pro X64 SP1
I don't have a Z77 board, but if it's like a Z68 or X79 one, it typically defaults to DDR3 1333. You have to choose XMP in the BIOS settings, or manually set the frequency.
AHCI is recommended, but it's not life-altering.

|21 Nov 2012
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I'm running a Gigabyte Z77 board (UD5H), you do have to tell the BIOS to use the XMP profile, I'm running the low profile version of the RAM you have. AHCI was on by default on my board, but that may not be the case with yours...but I'm pretty sure the Z77 Gigabyte boards all use the same BIOS setup, the only difference being support for more features on the higher end boards.

well thanks for answers, but is there problem using achi when i have one ssd sata 3(which is bootable with windows 7) and the other is hdd sata 2 drive. ?
And is there any solution to get rid of that 3d bios ... becasue my old monitor does not support that resolution so i see the 3d board broken... and i must go in the living room to connect my pc to the TV where the bios works...
bobkn when you say " AHCI is recommended, but it's not life-altering."
What do you mean exactly?
|My System Specs
|22 Nov 2012
Windows 8.1 Pro RTM x64
According to the motherboard manual, the 3D BIOS screen is automatically displayed if a mouse is detected. To switch to the standard main menu, press F1 (this key toggles between the modes).
It is recommended to use AHCI mode, and this is set as default, as it allows the storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features such as Native Command Queuing (NCQ) for drives that support it and hot plug. Other modes (IDE, RAID) may also be used if desired, but the advanced Serial ATA features will not be available, and you may see a performance drop.

Can you tell me how to enable it correctly ? I must enable it in bios only ? or to do something else in windows ?

Coming up with ideas for food blog posts?

- loveforvinegar Mar 24, 2011 12:15 AM
I have a food blog, and every week, I keep running out of ideas as to what to "blog" about.
Mostly, it's a money issue right now. I don't have enough of it to go off running to the store to buy 6 ingredients for a fancy post.. so every time I come up with ideas, I have to scrap them because I don't have the ingredients. All I have on hand currently, is pasta, frozen veggies, and basic dairy products. :(
If you have a food blog, how do you come up with your ideas?
re: Maximilien
I must agree to take a breather. Writing whether blogs or books should never be forced. If there is no pay check in it, writing should be enjoyable and come naturally... that's what I believe at least makes for really good writing. Yes, you can take others advice and write about frugal cooking or food memories... but I reiterate that whatever you write about should come naturally. Personally I've read far too many food blogs, articles and books that have been extremely amateurish and that seemed forced. I'm not saying that all "natural" writing immediately is excellent, but one can usually tell the difference.
Consider joining a food blog roll where you recipe less often but are part of a larger group of food bloggers supporting the efforts of one another. Have you looked into blog rolls or contacted food bloggers you admire to partner? Rather than throw in the apron, if you really do enjoy it, maybe you just need some food blogging pals.
You can always expand somewhat on what you blog about. Talk about all aspects of food, not just making dishes. Most food blogs I really come back to read are ones with diverse topics.
A blog is a personal diary which you are choosing to make public. Blog about how you really are, what you really eat, what you really do. Don't pretend or buy something or cook what you wouldn't normally do.
Blogging should be another way of communicating, not a burden.
You could write several nice articles on frugal cooking.
You could do research in your cookbooks and online about a food related topic, and share your findings.
You can write your memories about food related events in your life.
You can review a favorite cookbook, and find an online source where your readers might purchase it.
You could add lifestyle articles to your repertoire.
re: sueatmo
How many vinegars are in your collection?
Write about each one not leaving any detail out, make sure to take a picture of the bottle and include all the dishes that particular vinegar can be utilized in.
I put up a photo every day of a restaurant, bar, coffee shop or food worker on my site.
I like the above suggestion of reviewing your cookbook collection one at a time.
Hopefully you have hundreds.
What were your favorite dishes your grandma made?
Your mom?
Your aunt that could really cook?
Look at other folks blogs and write about the topics of the day: gluten free maniacs, healthful benefits of lard etc.
I suffer from the opposite of your problem. I have so many articles going at one time that it's daunting to give each one the full breadth and scope it deserves.
What inspired you to start a food blog?

Black napkins offered
We had dinner at an upscale but not ultrafancy place Saturday night and we were asked if we wanted black napkins??? Hesitated in answering- not sure if it was some voodoo thing. The waiter said- oh so you don't get lint on your dark clothing! This was a new experience for us- has anyone out there been offered a black napkin???
re: jennywinker
Hmmmmm... an interesting take, but "ridiculous and pretentious"?
I'll go with practical and thoughtful.
Unless you carry your lint roller with you (not practical), you won't have accomplished anything... still lint-covered in public, no chance of lintlessness until you return to your cubicle/office, where it really doesn't matter.
re: GroovinGourmet
I'm w/you GG.
re: jennywinker
I don't think it's ridiculous or pretentious at all. As I am very often wearing black pants or a LBD I am always happy when a bar or restaurant has black napkins as the white lint from standard napkins can be a bear to remove.
I have lint rollers all over my house but don't carry them with me when I'm out and about so I appreciate the black napkins enormously. It's the little things.
If I'm wearing black at dinner I do appreciate a black napkin. I don't like rising from my chair to find my skirt or pants covered in lint from a white napkin. I don't carry a lint roller in my pocketbook. I'm surprised you were asked - my experience in fine restaurants has been that the white napkin is automatically replaced with black if you're wearing black or dark colors. It isn't pretentious, it is proper service, IMHO.
re: janniecooks
Agreed. It shows a level of sensitivity by the restaurant to not offer napkins that will leave bits of white fuzz on black clothing. I appreciate the gesture.
re: jfood
jfood, are you meaning mrs jfood getting her lipstick on her napkin? or recieving a clean napkin that has lipstick stains on it?
reason i ask is most places that use linen napkins have them machine laundered by a linen service, so the custo shouldn't worry about getting anything on their napkin (lipstick, wine, hotsauce, etc) we (resto staff) think nothing of it. if a stained linen makes it to the table setting, well, that's the direct fault of a table-setter not paying attention.
anyways, my response to the OP is "why did they even ask? " if the resto provides black linens for that purpose why not just say "here you go". anyway, it's a nice gesture on the resto's part. but i also wonder if it's more expensive to have two types of linens available than to just get the better quality whites that don't leave lint.
re: excuse me miss
it's the former, during dinner.
The other night was the first time the hostess looked at the jfood clothes and swapped the whites on the table to the blacks in her hand. Interesting change at the beginning of the meal.
Yes, it's actually quite common. I love it... particularly since I'm always wearing black slacks.
re: pikawicca
I'm with you pikawicca. But, I am relieved that restaurants don't mind "lipstick" left on their napkins!
re: Gingerleen
I like it better when I ask for a Riedel wine glass, and they can magically produce one from the back to replace the standard issue wine glass on the table. Better bring the black napkin, too, in case the the wine tips over :-)
re: amanda3571
What a good idea. I like it.
I wear black just about every day. I always ask for a black napkin if white ones are on the table, and about 75% of restos can accommodate that request. It can be a real pain to head back to the office covered in little white specs, and for those of us who don't dress business casual, it's a nice consideration. I don't find it pretentious at all.
I also agree with jfood - seeing the stained white napkins on the table is a little off putting to me, whether it's lipstick, food, etc. Black is much classier.
re: Suzy Q
"Off-putting". That's the word jfood could not think of to keep him out of the dog house.
Thanks Suzy Q.
BTW one of jfood's friends growing up was a Suzy Q.
re: jfood
Thanks jfood! My great aunt DeEtte, a proper Charleston lady, always taught me to use the right word in the right situation. I succeed about half of the time. She, of course, would have expected the restaurant to have on hand whatever color napkin she needed to match her outfit of the day...and you know, she probably would've gotten it, too. :-)
I never even heard of this until a month ago. I had dinner at a nice restaurant with a few other people. As we sat down, the hostess replaced one person's white napkin with a black one. We were perplexed at first, but later on realized it was to protect her black pants. Once we realized that, we all thought it was a great idea.
re: brandygirl
On the other hand, couldn't they just buy a better brand of white linen napkin?
I've had lint come off from some, but not all, white napkins?
Wouldn't the purchase of a better napking offset the extra charge (wouldn't there be one?) of having to pay for the separate washing of the black napkins? Which, by the way, would fade after time.
Soooo many things to think of! Owning a restaurant is obviously rewarding, but also must be very trying.
re: dolores
I would love this. I mostly wear black, at least black pants when dining out and this would be SO helpful.
re: dolores
After the amount of washing and use these things go through, even a better quality napkin will wear out and be linty.
Also, napkins are often stolen or accidentally walked off with. White napkins will come back from the laundry with still visible lipstick or other stains, and since no one wants to see that on their napkin, they aren't used. I don't think any restaurant is in a hurry to buy expensive ones.
I too wear a lot of black (I'm a charter member of the "Dress Like A Ninja" club), but....!!! Black napkins, or more precisely, the NEED for black napkins, really ticks me off. I grew up with white linen Damask napkins, starched and ironed, and they NEVER had lint!
Okay, so in today's world, hardly any restaurants use linen Damask, but the fact remains that if things are laundered propery and a decent grade of napkin is bought in the first place, what's with the black? Sometimes I feel the world is slipping into a deep morass of mediocrity!
re: Caroline1
In such this world of non-Damask, not properly laundered white napkins, the black napkin is a good solution for the diner wearing black.
re: Caroline1
>>Sometimes I feel the world is slipping into a deep morass of mediocrity!
Good point, Caroline1, very good point.
I too ascribe to the 'dress like a ninja' club, and I know, I just know, that I've gotten white napkins that didn't leave lint. On the other hand, I did get the cheapies, and I'm not sure (though they seem like a good idea), that the black napkin isn't just a cheap, easy, lazy alternative. But again, wouldn't they have to then separate their laundy, pay more to wash it, and frequently replace the faded black napkins?
It doesn't make sense to me. If you're going to open a restaurant, spring for the better napkins.
re: dolores
In this day and age, most napkins are some sort of synthetic fiber that doesn't leave lint and can't even form it. So that says to me that the laundry method is the problem. So where is the lint coming from? Does the restaurant use lint-laden old fashioned 100% cotton "flour sack" dish towels they toss in with the napkins, or do they send the napkins out to a commercial laundry that tosses 'em in with diapers and flokati rugs? Weird. Just plain weird.
re: Caroline1
I prefer the aesthetics of a black napkin (see my earlier post).
re: Suzy Q
I did earlier. Both of them.
I appreciate aesthetics too, but... Do these restaurants also use black tablecloths? Or if the black napkins are only a bow to us Ninjas, what about the people who wear red, or green, or blue? Both white AND black lint will be an eyesore on them! Why not just do the damned laundry right and forget about black napkins? Unless they are coordinated with black tablecloths.
re: Caroline1
I think it is It is partly the laundry process. A restaurant has a certain allocation with a laundry service. The service picks up everything, washes it, returns it. Duh.
The white lanudry will include- chef jackets, dozens of kitchen towels, table cloths, and napkins. The lint, IMO, comes from the towels. Keep in mind, different laundry services may separate these things out, but my assumption is that they wash one restauant's whites together, to keep the count right, and to be efficient.
I love the black napkin thing. I actually stole the idea for use in my home, since I rarely wear other colors than black.
re: Caroline1
Caroline, I'm having a difficult time understanding the insistence on white linens. Is the dining experience diminished somehow for you because you have a non-white napkin? Or is it because you don't consider colored napkins to be part of a "correct" table setting?
What color napkins should be used when in an establishment with NO tablecloth?
re: Suzy Q
Gee, come on. This isn't rocket science. No. I don't mind black napkins. And I don't mind white napkins. What I do mind is LINT! Black napkins ONLY address the problem for people wearing black. And when it comes right down to it, white napkins only address the lint problems for people wearing white! So as I have questioned in other posts, what about diners wearing red or blue or green. What makes them unworthy of consideration?
If it is a laundry problem, and that would certainly be my number one guess, then why is the restaurant unable to say to the laundry service, "Look, take care of the lint problem with our napkins or we find another laundry." Some restaurants do their own laundry in-house, and I suspect those are the restaurants that don't have to bother with black napkins. It's really more economical to do it that way too. Now do you understand? It's not the aesthetics. It's simply the lint,
re: Caroline1
It was an honest question, Caroline - just trying to understand your POV. Sorry if you were offended in some way. I know from many of your previous posts that you're a stickler for proper table settings and I thought that might be where you were coming from.
Back on topic, I've never had a problem with black lint coming off on non-black clothing when I've dined with black napkins. I think a previous poster's thought about white linens being washed with fuzzier towels, etc. definitely has some merit.
re: Suzy Q
Once again, let me give this a shot and see if it stays on the board this time. I don't have a problem with black napkins if everyone has black napkins. Or pink or green or yellow or any other color. I don't even have a problem with everybody getting a different color napkin. But it does bother me to go into a restaurant where ALL of the unoccupied place covers, including the ones where we've just been seated, are set with the same colored napkins, then have a wait-person ask if we'd like black napkins, then whisk away whatever color we happen to have and replace them with black if we say yes.
To me, that is similar to (but not exactly like) going into a fine dining restaurant and being asked if I would like to have the metal flatware replaced with plastic. Not the same, you say? Well think about it. Plastic utensiles are only used once, then thrown away, so they are much more hygenic than silverware that may or may not have been properly cleaned and sterilized by the dishwasher.
For me, when I'm offered an ALTERNATE color napkin to the one already on the table, that's telling me they have a laundry problem, they're aware of it, but this is the best they're willing to do to fix it. And having the sort of quirky, curious mind I do, that makes me start wondering what sort of substandard practices may be going on in the kitchen where they are preparing my food? That's not a good place for restaurants to go.
re: Caroline1
Your standards are quite high, Caroline1, and may not be met by many dining establishments.
A stance like yours is rather hazardous: having expectations that are too high for the flawed world in which we live. You may find yourself continually disappointed as a result.
I believe you've mischaracterized the offer of black napkins as being indicative of inferior laundry practices. Your statement that offering black napkins might be indicative of substandard food preparations goes a bit far, IMO.
The laundry facility may be the best that's available, or the best that the resto can afford. The linens may be perfectly sterile, but bearing lint. The resto may not be able to ask that their linens be washed separately from the lint-producing towels. Often, the laundry service provides the linens and the type offered to restos are not damask. Linens can be a huge expense to the resto, and increasing the expense even further by insisting on damask may not be financially feasible.
I like that you are interested in classical table settings and service, but others may not share this interest with the same fervor as you, or may not be able too afford the interest if they share it.
re: maria lorraine
Well, I'll try responding to a second comment from someone who presumes to know me by stating I am pushing classical table setting. And I will tie the two thoughts (this thread about black napkins) together, so please be patient with me, Chow Police! '-)
First, about table settings. And I'm not talking about picnics, or a quick lunch at McDonald's. I'm talking about knock-yourself out slaving over a hot stove fancy dinners at home and moderately to excessively upscale restaurants. But especially in drop-dead gourmet delicious home cooked meals. When someone goes to such levels, then presentation and table setting become to the food what a mounting is to a diamond. If you were a jeweler, would you expect to sell a fine diamond stuck to a bride-to-be's finger with bubble gum? Obviously no. Then why should you treat the food you work so hard over in that manner? How a table is set defines the difference between "dining" and "eating".
Oh, and just for general information, you can buy quite attractive sets of flatware at WalMart for ten bucks for 4 five piece place settings. Individual flatware pieces are even cheaper than that. So what makes it such an "unafordable interest" to simply put the forks on the left and the knife and spoons on the right when setting a table? The point that you obviuosly missed in my thread about table settings is that you do not have to have twenty piece place settings to set a table properly. Only a little easy-to-master common sense knowledge. Sort of like tying your shoes.
When it comes to restaurants offering an optional "other color" napkin (it doesn't matter if it's black or chartreuse), and the primary reason for such an offering is because of lint on the napkin that will show up on a diner's clothing, isn't it far more caring of the restaurant to simply handle the lint problem? If lint is not the reason for the offer of black napkins, then why not simply use black napkins in the first place and save the wait staff an added hassle?
When people accept an alternate color of lint from a restaurant's napkins with warm feelings of how thoughtful the restaurateur is to think of them, they are voting for quick and easy "less than optimal" fixes. Why accept substandard solutions?
And THAT is my point. If the time comes when the majority of you are happy with the thoughtfulness of being offered black lint in place of white, or are protective of bad waiters who get bad tips, or even insist that it doesn't matter how a table is set, if the time comes that most Chowhounds defend and support these things with your patronage or your actions, in the long term it is you who are forcing lowered standards on me. I am not forcing higher standards on you. Why do you do that to yourselves?
re: Caroline1
I am a huge fan of an elegantly set table even for informal meals, and I read your previous long thread, so you have taken a misstep here.
Please don't misunderstand my stance, as well. Please don't presume you need to educate me about table settings, flatware, linens and table protocol as I am an active practitioner.
I simply don't agree with you. I like having the option of a black napkin when I'm wearing black. And I don't read into it that it means a less than optimal laundry service like you do. I simply think that lint happens, and will continue to happen.
I mentioned problems with fabric choice and the laundry itself and the expense involved, but these practical concerns were not acknowledged by you. You've identified lint as an indication of some professional laziness or moral turpitude. I think you're too quick to judge.
And much too quick to judge me. You have no idea of who I am or of my entertaining acumen.
You go too far when you lump me in with those you accuse of not caring about setting a proper table (when I'm known among my social circle for exactly that and for wonderful food and wine). You don't know of whom you speak.
You're not only preaching to the choir, you're accusing the choir.
I have said nothing to you about flatware, its placement or number or specificity.
And please, additionally, don't lump those who prefer black lint in with those who "are protective of bad waiters who get bad tips." You're lumping two unrelated behaviors together. And again condemning much too quickly.
And now, you're accusing me of forcing you to lower your standards when I am a champion of fine table settings but I choose to use a black napkin to avoid white lint on my garments?
In so doing, you've condemned and convicted a brethren! Your table settings may be lovely; how about some etiquette, some fairness and kindness before judging so harshly and inaccurately?
re: Suzy Q
white linens are used because of the association with white as being "clean". yes black hides stains, but there shouldn't be stains to begin with. same reason as why chefs will wear a white chef's jacket, or servers will wear a white shirt, etc.
Yes all the time at semi & fine dining places in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. Often at places that deal with business lunches etc...
I appreciate it as I generally in am a black suit or black pants.
re: ChinoWayne
I think this is a thoughtful touch. I also appreciate purse hooks under a bar. But I was at a restaurant recently and they brought over a mini metal stand to hang my purse on - that was a little strange. Think I'd rather stash it under my chair.
re: bbrooke
Where was this? How odd! I can't quite picture this as part of the table setting - kinda like an extra chair!
re: Catskillgirl
I've been to a couple of pretty upscale places that had an extra chair/bench type-o-thingee for your purse. I don't often bring one, but I love the idea. That is, if you're 2 people at a 4 top. With a larger crowd I could imagine it being more of a pain than anything....
I had never heard of this before, but I love the idea of swapping out white for black on guest by guest basis. Low-key pampering! Our favorite place uses black napkins for everyone (aesthetic thing ... goes with the decor). The thing I love is when they serve this blackened shrimp app that we like, they bring a lemoned fingerbowl with (of course - that's all they use) a black napkin. So when you wipe all that ick off your little paws, you don't see the ugly black smears on a white napkin sitting on your table before they remove the course. So tasteful.
Me think it's kind of pushing it too much; must be an american (US) thing.
Never seen this in Montreal, or in Europe.
Well I wish black napkins were available at a certain posh restaurant in NYC some years ago. I, wearing the obligatory little black dress, got up to leave after the meal and noticed a large white addition to the front of my dress. Strangely, that was the only time it happened although I usually wear dark colors.
I've seen black napkins...and I actually love it when the staff are attentive enough, when appropriate, to replace white napkins w/black ones w/o asking. I just adore snappy service!
I have had the waiter wait until we were all seated, and then put the more appropriate color in front of each guest. I had on black pants, I got a black mapkin. My husband wore khaki's, got a white one. It was not just random, either as he had more than enough of each color in his hand.
re: sparkalina
sparkalina, that sounds like an outstanding restaurant.
Never heard of this before. Don't expect to be offered one (or, if you ask for one, don't expect to get anything other than a blank look) anywhere in Europe.
We have white napkins here (unless we are talking about down-market places that have paper napkins - in which case you'll get whatever colour they've bought in this week)
re: littlehottie
Never had a linen lint problem. I can't imagine what a linty linen would even look like!
If I had experienced this quirk, I'd much rather see the place just improve their linens or use a different laundry service. It seems a little fussy to me. And like something that's getting exploited for the sake of pretentiousness.
lol....recently at our birthday dinner we were brought black napkins without having been asked. I think my BIL was a little put off by it (he doesn't like to be fussed over and may have found it too pretentious), and I know my very down-to-earth DH was a bit bemused. But naive person that I am, I didn't even realize WHY the black napkins were offered until my sister posted her review...(see www.chowhound.com/topics/495053 )
re: janetofreno
I would like to hear from a restaurant OWNER /manager, as to to the quality of white linen napkins available, laundry services, problems etc. We the customers would do well to inquire as to what is possible,what are the types and $ ranges of white linens available these days, what are the possible laundry options. etc. Can you even purchase white damask linen in large quantities anymore? What would be the cost of purchasing, seperate laundering and ironing these napkins? What is cost of nice cotton or linen ones? What is cost of in-house laundering vs out-sourcing? We should do some research and ASK a few owners of restaurants what the various linens and services are, before we make statements and judgements interpreting their actions.
Any owners/managers have their side to tell here?
re: anthrochick
why not go right to the horses mouth? here is the company's website for the linen service that supplies practically every restaurant in toronto.
i'm sure you could contact them for a price list, etc.
also, have a look through the "plant tour" photos to get an idea of what the whole operation looks like.
re: anthrochick
hi. most small restaurants in my area use ameripride as their linen service. the advantage to using a linen service is that they'll take care of other items such as floor mats, restroom hand toweling, mop heads, microfiber, etc. this company is very reliable. as they will tell you when they are trying to sell you their services, they use radio chip tracking systems in the garments to ensure that orders are complete. commercial laundries, like commercial bakeries, are actually extremely high-tech.
restaurant linens include uniforms, aprons, tablecloths, napkins, wiping cloths, dusting, cleaning, and microfiber cloths, bathroom toweling, mop heads-- it's all extremely expensive to purchase at one time (just as it's expensive to purchase all those forks, ramekins, bread plates, etc). if you go through a linen service you can lease rather than purchase linens, and many places choose to do this. linen services also replace items when they become worn. another advantage is that there is little/no linen storage at the restaurant-- when you lease a restaurant by the square foot, it can be very expensive to lease 500+ sq feet to maintain a laundry and linen storage area, so the linen service is probably much more of a savings in the largest cities with high restaurant overhead, and for many smaller restaurants.
restaurants that do in-house laundry have a higher up-front cost and end up paying staff to launder, fold, iron linens as necessary. at some places there is enough down time for this to be feasible. other places may literally have to hire extra people just to keep on top of linens. there is no "best" way to get laundry cleaned, the "best" solution will depend on a number of factors and should be decided by each individual restaurateur. btw we do in-house laundry as part of a green in-house cleaning program, using plant-based detergents etc, but every other establishment i've ever worked at, with one exception, used a service.
i think it's very nice when i'm offered a black napkin, but mostly i'm appreciative of the labor involved with linens-- i'll happily take whatever i'm offered. the idea that restaurants should stock a rainbow of colored napkins to coordinate with cutomers' outfits is a bit much imho :)
I see this all the time. In fact, considering that black pants are more common than white/light colored ones, I have sometimes wondered why ALL the napkins weren't black, if they were going to be replacing white ones with black ones all the time based on the diner's pants color.
Seems to me that restaurants where the server folds the napkin and places it on the table for you when you get up wouldn't want to set a black napkin on a white tablecloth, next to white dishes--it would look jarring. During a recent three hour lunch at The French Laundry, everyone got up at least once or twice. The napkins for everyone were white and quite lint-free.
Heh, I thought of this discussion last night when I saw what happened to my napkin. I was wearing a dark navy sweater and khakis. The white napkin (no choice at this place far as I know) didn't seem to harm my sweater at all, but by the time I left the *napkin* was noticeably contaminated with dark lint. ;-)
re: CrazyOne
I like the idea of a black napkin being offered...lovely attention to detail if a waiter noticed that I had on a dark color and offered me a black napkin. There is a certain upscale restaurant in Atlanta, located in a lovely river setting, that I avoid because of the white lint thing and the hassle of de-linting afterwards. If only they knew of the black napkins!
I was asking about the restautant's side of things because it seemed that they were getting some slamming for a seemingly helpful gesture, IMHO. I was wondering about Caroline's comment re: damask vs lint-y linen. ( I have damask and lint-free linen at home, but don't know how damask would hold up for daily laundering), and wondered about linen quality , lint-free napkins etc. Obviously, The French Laundry managed to do it, - wonder what type of linens they use and who they use for laundry service!
re: jcattles
yea, I didn't know about this either til this thread.Love the Not About the Food posts!
Season 52 and Cantina Laredo offer black napkins...Wish all restaurants would do that...can't stand to have black/dark cotton slacks covered in lint from white napkins.

Before jetting off for his ten day vacation at Mahthas Vineyard, President Obama admonished us to eat our peas. Interwoven in his message were many references of shared sacrifice. ...For us.
Most assume he meant, we will have to tighten our belts. Times are tough right now and it will take sacrifice="eat yer peas"! I lived in a house where you had to sit at the table until you finished ALL of the peas on your plate. To hear a voice of authority say "eat your peas" evokes memories of long unpleasant nights at the dinner table.
It seems every time we turn around we are getting hit with"shared sacrifice" talking points from whatever media source is within earshot. These talking points are used to drive home a point of austerity, softening us up for the hammer to come down on the benefits and entitlements that many have come to expect as Americans.
Marthas Vineyard is the playground for the wealthy elite of America. The elite that own those private jets and corporations, the very types that Obama and his allies always rail against. Yet the President seems to move comfortably among them & mingle.
So before the Washington elite start to hack away at the rest of our benefits and "entitlements" lets see them practice some shared sacrifice by eating peas along with the rest of us.
How about the President and Congress take a pay cut, eliminate their pensions and get Social Security like most of Americans. No special Cadillac health plans, but live under Obamacare like the rest of us are supposed to do.
Please Mr. President how about the next time you and the family go off on a vacation, fly together instead of separately, it will save us hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not to mention the extra green house gasses, separate jet transports spew.
Lead by example. Us pea eaters want you to sit down at the table next to us and finish everyone of those round vegetables. Then we can talk about shared sacrifice.

Turkey's Energy Minister invites Norwegian investment
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
OSLO - Norway and Turkey will strengthen cooperation on gas, oil and hydropower, Turkey's energy minister said in Oslo on Wednesday.
Energy Minister Yildiz told journalists, during his official visit to Oslo, that he asked Norwegian national oil company, Statoil, to supply Turkey with 6 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and Statoil are currently considering this request to make the LNG transfer.
Yildiz noted that Norway meets almost all of its energy needs from hydro plants, and added that he spoke to two private Norwegian firms with the aim of beginning a renovation of Turkey's existing hydro plants as well as transferring technology to Turkey.
Oil and gas exploration in the Mediterranean and Black Sea was another topic on the agenda at the talks, where Yildiz invited Statoil to undertake oil exploration and drilling in the Turkish seas.

Apple throws Adobe a bone -- on the Mac
Adobe's Flash Player has never performed as well in Mac OS X as it does on Windows-running PCs.

Remains the best account of American punk rock in the late 80s.
No better book exists on this subject. Unlike most books about music the writer doesn't sound like a pompous wank, interviews and stories are excellent and the Butthole Surfers chapter greatened my love for the group (a feat I didn't think possible.)
If you are interested in underground music and culture, this book is impossible to put down.

Secure your spot on Santa's nice list and enjoy this year's theme of the magic of Christmas during the Bradford Santa Claus parade Saturday.
The parade begins at Bradford District High School at 6:30 p.m. and travels east on Holland Street West until the four main corners and then proceeds south on Simcoe Road.
Santa and his entourage of elves, helpers, musical minions and carollers wrap things up at the Bradford & District Memorial Community Centre probably around 8 p.m.
But no one will be checking their watches twice since no one really holds Santa to any time clock.
Come out and enjoy this one-of-a-kind evening parade and cheer on Santa.
Each year, the South Simcoe Paramedics along with several volunteers walk the route prior to the beginning of the parade collecting toys.
You can help spread some cheer of the festive season for those less fortunate by bringing new unwrapped toys for children of all ages to the parade.
And don't forget to bring a toonie (or two) for the annual Feed The Deer collection.
Some very special elves will be hard at work Saturday along the parade route; some walking special donation reindeer and others collecting your letters to Santa Claus.
Make sure your letter is addressed to Santa Claus, c/o The North Pole, HOH OHO and that your return address is on the envelope, too, so Santa can write you back.
Cash donations and cheques (for the parade, not Santa) can be dropped into collection bins to help the many dedicated volunteers work in conjunction with the Bradford Lions Club and various local businesses to continue to bring the annual parade to delighted residents for many years to come.
Cheques can be made payable to BWG Santa Claus Parade.
The annual event is a pretty big show for the big guy, having peaked one year at 80 entries, so two lanes of Professor Day Drive and Blue Dasher Boulevard will be closed from 5 to 7:45 p.m., as well as the main route streets and Edward Street from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
