supergirl20What it is.
I'm not a person who is religious minded. I can't tell you that our lives overall fit into some giant tapestry of purpose and meaning. I do feel, though, that we can commit our lives to a purpose that is meaningful and good. For me, I believe that purpose is to help animals—both domestic and wild, and to help take steps to protect our environment. This is an overall goal of which there are many parts. Some of this involves being more active in contributing money to charities that matter. Some of it may involve seeking out more volunteer opportunities, or being politically active, or speaking out. It definitly involves taking steps each day to align my lifestyle with my beliefs. Overall, my goal is to remember my purpose and my meaning, and to act on that as best I can each day. 8 years ago

Trench: c/o Banana Republic, Skirt: Cynthia Steffe, Tights: Zara, Shoes: Nine West, Bag: Alexandra Satine (removable clutch from this bag), Faux fur headband/scarf from last year (similar), Necklace: 2Bandits, Bracelets: Sisco Berluti
I pulled this trench out yesterday when it was raining and it cheered the gloomy day right up. My animal print adoration really needs no explanation here. I sort of feel like a 1960s Russian spy with the combo of animal print and fuzzy head gear. The only thing that gets me through winter is the amount of cozy accessories that I get to indulge in like headbands, knit turbans, faux fur anything, cute gloves with bows on them, and LOTS of hats. I'm not looking forward to being that cold but at least I'll be ready (and cute).
Speaking of animal print overload, I'm reposting my TJ Maxx trend video on the topic! Hope your weekend is fabulous!

Kwik Trip is predominantly a Wisconsin and Minnesota convenience store and gas station. It is king of gas in my area and once the king-quick-stop for morning coffee.
Up until about 3 years ago Kwik Trip brewed a fine roast of well tasting caffeine filled coffee to kick-start the morning. Out of no where the company decided to package and re-sell their meagerly roasted blends in ground and whole bean packages called Cafe Karuba Coffee. Around this time is when the grounds went stale.
From what I can see, the employees are now forbidden to put any love into our cup of Joe. Coffee grounds are grounded exact as well as brew baskets swelled to the bottoms of hell where brewing only turns the color of the water into a hazy brown. Kwik Trip is no Cafe, even in Karuba, a village in Nord-Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
It took a good year before I gave up completely drinking Kwik Trip Coffee, now opting to buy a half of a pound of Folgers at the same establishment for a justified 68 cents more. Woe is an actual refill of a cup of Kwik Trip Java - especially with these fine establishments selling quality cups of coffee on the go: coffee shops near La Crosse, Wisconsin

Goats Head Soup (1973)
1. Dancing With Mr D

On-Going Projects
Welcome Preppers and Survivalists,
As some of you know, mainly my family, I have a lot of projects happening at the same time. I an looking for a new, better paying job, working for the federal government. (Hey, they have better pay and benefits) I am getting my family's stuff squared away (survival and non-survival related), and I am trying to write interesting articles for this blog.
As I have said in the past, I work in an industry that we will always have work. (No, I don't collect taxes or bury people) The company I work for almost never fires anybody because most people don't want to do this work, and we are expanding because of that.
And there lies the problem.
The government may get smaller in the next few years. (I doubt it, but I'm a survivalist. We plan for potential/possible problems) I don't want to get a federal job then get laid off because the politicians are cutting the big, bad federal government ; - (
Spring is officially here, so my family projects are increasing. I still haven't finished adding the cross pieces to the shelves I built in our basement (Remember, I told you I had built these types of shelves a couple of time, and I had learned from my mistakes. This is one of my lessons) Another project we, my partner and I, are starting is our vegetable garden. Next, I built a set of poles for my wife's bird feeders, and I need to get them in the ground. I will also be removing some of our fence line. The removed posts and boards will be used to replace some worn posts and broken boards. (No, I haven't forgot. The fence line needs painting, this year!) Plus, we are adding to our fruit trees; I hope. We'll probably put in a few cherry trees. Lastly, I still haven't cleaned my office.
And the list of stuff to do is added to, almost continuously.
Lastly, writing for the blog takes time. Usually in the winter, the sun sets early, so I can justify writing at night. Come Spring, the days are getting longer, so more time to do things, less time to write.
And this is the real reason for this article.
I wanted to tell you about some articles; I am planning to write. A few articles will cover patrolling and other military skills that I think are important, for the urban, suburban, and rural prepper. Another few articles will cover treating surface (stream, rivers, ponds, lakes, and ...) water for drinking.
Lastly, I'm going to look for some advertisers.

I Loved My Orthodox Jewish Doula
Last week, Julie Satow expressed her disappointing experience with doulas during her first two births. This week, Avital offers a different perspective.
When I was six months pregnant with my son, my husband and I ended up moving to another state. We moved for a variety of reasons, and despite looking forward to our new location, it meant that we were now further away from both sets of parents as well as countless friends.
Our move shook up my plans for a homebirth. We didn't have a support network in the area built up yet, and I couldn't imagine we would get there in the three months left before my son was to be born. I wasn't sure if we could pull one off without one. In retrospect, I had a very uneventful labor and birth that would have been perfectly suited for a homebirth, but ah… hindsight.

When I decided to go vegan a few years back, it was purely for animal welfare reasons. A vegan diet contains absolutely no animal products -- no meat, no fish, no eggs, no dairy. I'd been vegetarian for the better half of my life, and decided I had to go "all the way" in an effort to do even more for all those cute and fuzzy creatures. But when my body rebelled against veganism, I got a serious wake up call to pay attention to nutrition in a totally different way -- for myself and for my son.
Veganism was a bit of an adjustment, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly, especially with the many delicious I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Animal items on the shelves these days. But after I got pregnant, my body seriously wanted some animal products, so I caved. (And boy, did I cave: I ate Big Macs every day for a week, before settling back into good old vegetarianism). After I had my son, I eventually fell back to being vegan -- no more milk or eggs. Again, it felt great at first -- ethically and physically. My conscience was squeaky-clean, I thought, and my body felt refreshed and energetic.
But less than a year later, I started to have some health problems. I started having extreme dizzy spells and, not to get too graphic here, major digestive issues. It was an incredibly scary time, mostly because my doctors seemed unconvinced that my problems were due to nutrition, but also because I constantly worried that I would have an "episode" while out with my little boy, and be unable to take care of him. I had an entire workup -- and I mean entire. If you need someone to describe what, exactly, the inside of an MRI or CAT scan machine looks like, or what an EEG feels like, I'm your woman.
Turns out, I was developing a B12 deficiency. I had never bothered to take vitamins, figuring that I was a healthy young person, so it was unnecessary. (The irony is not lost on me, given my profession as a writer and editor for TheDoctorWillSeeYouNow.com). Eventually, I was given B12 shots, put on iron supplements, and I started taking multivitamins, omegas, and, just for fun, probiotics. I started feeling better. Oh yes, and I quit being vegan (and vegetarian), too. Now I eat fish, poultry, and eggs, but no dairy.
The whole debacle got me thinking about the choices we make, and how we pass them on to our kids. Is it right to raise our children with restrictions -- dietary or otherwise -- because we believe in something? How do we raise our kids to make their own choices while not pushing our own beliefs on them? My son, who's now two and a half, is still a lacto-ovo vegetarian, as he's always been. He eats lots of eggs and dairy, and I make sure he gets enough proteins, fats, and carbs (we're still working on veggies). He also takes children's multivitamins, complete with omega fatty acids for his growing brain. As much as I can, I try to buy organic products and humanely raised animals, to quiet my own personal and ethical concerns.
I don't know if I'll be vegan again, though in theory I'd like to be someday. Right now, being healthy and giving my body what it needs to function at its best is my main concern. This is even truer for my son.

Artists > Josh Thompson
When Ronnie Van Zandt told producer Al Kooper to turn it up at the start of Sweet Home Alabama, it was a moment of sheer confidence. What Lynyrd Skynyrd was about to lay down was burning, powerful stuff, and Van Zandt knew the sound needed to be loud and proud.
Its that same spirit that led Josh Thompson to title his first Show Dog-Universal Music project Turn It Up. Its a modern, kickin country party album, with plenty of swagger, plenty of energy and plenty of blue-collar, hammer-swingin, fist-pumpin attitude.
Its just really all-encompassing, Thompson says of the Turn It Up banner. Not only turn up this record, but turn up the way you live your life, turn up the crazy, turn up the feel-good, turn up the dont-give-a-you-know-what.
The album turns up all those dials, beginning with the opening Down For A Get Down, a clanging Friday-night anthem that rings true for small-town country boys and big-city prima donnas. It winds through the searing title track, the Southern-rocker Wanted Me Gone and the snarling working-class closer, Hank Crankin People. The album grinds out its hard-won spirit while still paying homage to the solid-country tradition from which Thompsons music has grown. Cold Beer With Your Name On It has all the relationship drama of a classic George Jones & Tammy Wynette song, while A Little Memory possesses the adult self-reflection that made country such an important piece of heartland life.
Turn It Up is bound to invigorate Thompsons fans. Its already got Thompson and his road-warrior band kicking it into high gear on the road, where they frequently sell out frenzied clubs and theaters in their own headlining dates. Even if he finds himself opening arena or amphitheaters for someone else, the music guarantees that his set throws down the gauntlet.
We still do a lot of opening shows, so weve gotta be in your face, he concedes. We have to whoop the next guys ass. Its just the way that it is.
Thompsons live shows have earned him a solid fan base and gained him plenty of respect from those other acts that dared to follow him including Brad Paisley, Eric Church, Justin Moore and Skynyrd, all of whom have taken Thompson on the road. Turn It Up backs up the ferocity of those shows, but also reignites the momentum he established in the recording part of his job.
Thompsons debut album, Way Out Here, brought him Top 20 singles with the amped-up Beer On The Table and the prideful title track. Adding to the rebel brand of his musical predecessors, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr., Thompsons album went Top 10 and made him an instant contender for stardom. He wrote and recorded a stellar, more personal follow-up project, but just as it was ready for the marketplace, the label went through a series of back-room changes that undercut his momentum. Both sides ultimately agreed it was best to shake hands and call it a day Thompson took possession of the masters, and that project suddenly becomes a mysterious piece of his back story that is destined to emerge at some future point.
I dont know what Im gonna do with it, he says. I may split it up and put it out as EPs, I may put it out as one record, I dont know. Im still very proud of it, but it was time to move on and get a fresh start completely fresh label, fresh songs, fresh producer, fresh everything.
Fresh is a good word for it. Turn It Up connects with the rowdy tone of Way Out Here, but it subtly incorporates new sonic elements pulsing electronic sounds, an old-school clavinet, drum-machine beats and a gang vocal or two. But not so many that they overwhelm the core of the songs.
Theres a lot of overdub sounds, kind of track-y beats that do create an ambiance and flow through this record to give it some unity, he allows. But the most important part of music is the breath, you know the air, the space. When that gets too muddied up, I start to have a problem with it. When it adds, then thats great.
One other notably fresh aspect to the album is Thompsons voice. He pushes the upper limits of his register, nimbly projecting confidence even as he hits the most vulnerable parts of his audio persona.
I always have written there, at the top of my range, but this is the first time that Ive actually started recording there, he notes. I think it raises the energy. You can explode. You can make a song huge, a chorus huge, without having to direct a bunch of instruments to do different stuff. Youve taken it to the next level vocally, so everything else just follows.
Thompsons vocals are the vehicle, but its his songwriting that propelled him into a country career. He grew up in Wisconsin, sliding into the construction business at the ripe old age of 12 and expecting that the rest of his life would be built around pouring concrete in driveways and office buildings. But his focus got derailed when he hit 21. He bought a guitar as an off-hours distraction, and it soon became a 24/7 obsession.
I just wanted to learn some cover tunes and then six months after playing G, C and D, I wrote my first song, he says. That was it. Then I wrote another one and another one, and then I was running to my truck to write song ideas down, and it just kind of spiraled from there.
Thompson moved to Nashville in January 2005, used his construction skills to pay the bills in the short-term, but applied the same labor-intensive work ethic hed already built into his long-term dream. Within eight months, he had a publishing deal, and he added on a weekend touring schedule, honing his live sound and growing a repertoire.
One of his original songs, Growing Up Is Getting Old, became the title track for a Jason Michael Carroll album. He landed another, Church Pew Or Bar Stool, on Jason Aldeans My Kinda Party, Tough Goodbye on Gary Allans Set You Free and contributed A Man Dont Have To Die to Paisleys This is Country Music.
After logging more than a decade in another vocation, Thompson has a roll-up-the-sleeves practicality about his musical occupation. The uncertainty of a record deal is a by-product of the trade. The unsettled, roller-coaster nature of touring is merely a series of different job sites. The emotional turmoil that plagues some of his peers is, to Thompson, just a cost of doing business.
The music industry makes a lot of people bitter, makes a lot of people move, pisses a lot of people off, he shrugs. It can. But being in the construction industry, doing concrete everyday whatever you do, youre gonna hate it at some point. That saying, Do what you love and youll never work a day in your life? I always thought was way off. My take on it is, If you do what you love, youll hate it a lot of days, but youll never want to do anything else. Thats this. I will never want to do anything else.
For Turn it Up, Thompson found a group of people he really wanted to do music with Show Dog-Universal Music is owned in part by Toby Keith, whose sly, for-the-people creations are similar in their party-first spirit. Producers Mark Wright (Brooks & Dunn, Gary Allan) and Cliff Audretch III (Randy Houser) were longtime supporters whod been as crucial to Thompsons uprising as some of the beer-swiggin diehards that populate the front rows at his shows.
Theres a lot of power in friends, Thompson reasons, noting that the VP of Promotion for Show Dog-Universal Music is also old friend and longtime supporter Tom Baldrica. At the end of the day, if youve got believers behind you that have a great work ethic, thats all you need.
They put their noses to the grindstone on Turn It Up at Bens Place, a legendary Nashville studio owned by rocker Ben Folds. In previous incarnations under the names Javelina, Music City Music Hall and RCA Studio A its provided a setting for sessions by George Strait, Charley Pride, Billy Joel, Mark Chesnutt and Kacey Musgraves, just to mention a few.
The new-technology studios are very compact, Thompson says. This place is all about air and volume and space. Its just one big room, and all the musicians are sitting in a circle. Theyre looking at each other, theyre feeding off each other, whereas a lot of other studios are all separated in different rooms with a microphone, where they can communicate but not look at each other. The same thing with me I was in the same room with them. It just created an atmosphere, a really live kind of feel. It just made it perfect.
Thompson wrote or co-wrote nine of the 10 songs on Turn It Up, and Bens Place brought them to life. Between the melodic Firebird, the burning Wanted Me Gone and the jive Hillbilly Limo, the album fully embraces freedom the freedom of the highway, of a weekend bender, of following an inner creative voice.
Josh Thompson has found his own freedom. He does what he does, just because its who he is. And Turn It Up is an album intended for people who want to amplify their individuality.
Its drive fast, turn it up loud and party wild, you know? You own your life, so lets get after it.

Deidara is a missing-nin from the Hidden Rock Village who specializes in explosives. He was part of the Rock village's Explosives squad, creating and testing various kinds of bombs.
His specialty is to create and manipulate clay and forms it into different animal-shaped explosives. to attack his opponents with. The clay is infused with chakra and is detonated from a remote distance by Deidara, using the command "Katsu", which translates into "Detonate".
The means to make this explosive clay are the mouths in the palm of each hand. All he has to do is devour an animal or anything for that matter and he is able to copy its form. And like said he's able to bring it to life by infusing chakra into the molded clay. Depending on how much chakra is infused he refers to his creations from anywhere between "C1" to "C4", C4 being the strongest.
Deidara was recruited after being noticed by Akatsuki's leader, Pein, as a successful terrorist bomber. Originally Deidara refused to join Akatsuki, but after being defeated by Uchiha Itachi he was forced to join. From that point on Deidara is determined to defeat Itachi, and searches for a way to resist Itachi's genjutsu. During his time with Akatsuki, Deidara was first teamed up with Sasori. Sasori having a somewhat artistic ability himself earned the respect of Deidara, who always addresses him as master Sasori. After Sasori is killed, he's paired with Tobi, a relatively young boy who tends to unintentionally irritate Deidara a lot. Despite that, Deidara tries to protect Tobi, and treats him as a disciple.
Deidara is also the one who starts the assault on the Sand Village in order to abduct the Kazekage, Gaara. He succeeds in his mission and was able to obtain the jinchuuriki Gaara. He's a long distance fighter and isn't partically good at taijutsu as shown in his fight with Gaara. His long range attacks however are very damaging, and since he's not your average head-on attacker he's one Akatsuki member you do not want to underestimate. During his fight with Gaara, Deidara loses one hand, but was able to revive it later on. Although the arm he lost escaping Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan technique wasn't revivable, it was lost forever.
Just like Sasori was able to turn himself into a puppet, Deidara is able to turn himself into a human bomb. Just like on his hands, he has a mouth on his chest which can be unsealed. Once unsealed and provided with clay he can turn himself into a living bomb which can destroy everything in a 10 kilometer radius. He eventually uses this technique as a last resort in his fight against Uchiha Sasuke in an attempt to prove his art is absolute. Deidara hated the fact that it was Sasuke, and not him, who eventually killed Orochimaru and tries to end the fight in a draw. However, Sasuke was able to survive and Deidara just ended up blowing himself up. Deidara first appears in episode 135 stating that the Akatsuki would eventually kill Orochimaru.

Fellow Microsoft alum to run against DelBene for Congress
Republican Pedro Celis says he will challenge fellow ex-Microsoftie, U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Medina, in the upcoming midterm elections.
Seattle Times political reporter
First-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene will face a re-election challenge this year from a fellow ex-Microsoft employee.
Republican Pedro Celis, a retired Microsoft software engineer from Redmond, plans to announce his candidacy officially Thursday morning.
Celis, 54, grew up in Mexico and immigrated to the U.S. in the 1980s to pursue a career in computer science. He speaks with a heavy accent and plans to play up his life story in his campaign, recording his announcement video in both English and Spanish.
"I have experienced the American dream. I have experienced what's great in this country and I want that to continue," Celis said in an interview Wednesday evening.
DelBene, 52, a former Microsoft marketing executive, was elected in 2012 to represent the state's 1st Congressional District, which runs from northeast King County to the Canadian border.
The swing district is the state's most evenly divided between Republican- and Democratic-leaning voters. As such, it's likely the GOP's best shot at flipping a congressional seat in the state in this year's midterm elections.
Celis cited DelBene's support for policies such as the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, as a major reason he's running.
"She's not helping improve the economy. ... We've been spending a lot of money and not creating a lot of jobs," he said.
In an interview last week, Celis criticized another big Democratic priority backed by DelBene — increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour from the current $7.25.
He cited a recent government report predicting some job losses if that raise were to occur. "She sees minimum wage as a living wage. I see it as a starting wage. I see it as an issue for minority kids," Celis said.
A DelBene campaign spokesman, Sandeep Kaushik, dismissed Celis as "just another hyperpartisan Republican who is far too extreme for a moderate district. ...
"If you like the way the Republican Congress has forced the irresponsible government shutdown, advocates for privatizing Social Security and launched a war on women, and want more of the same, then Celis is your candidate," Kaushik said.
But Robert Jones, regional political director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Celis' background and life story "immediately make him a strong candidate."
Jones argues that DelBene's "reckless support of Obamacare" has left Washington families facing higher insurance costs, reduced services and loss of their health plans. "Washington will be much better off with Pedro Celis representing them in Congress," he said.
Celis was born in Monterrey, Mexico. He earned a computer-science degree, then headed to Canada in his 20s, he said, "with one bag of clothes and a box of books" to go to grad school. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo in Ontario.
He moved to the U.S. in 1986 to take a job as a professor of computer science at Indiana University Bloomington. He later worked for startups in California and Texas before moving to Redmond to work for Microsoft, where he wrote database software. He retired in 2012 as a "distinguished engineer" after 14 years there.
This is his first run for office, but Celis has been involved in the Republican Party for years and served as Washington co-chairman of Mitt Romney's primary presidential campaign in 2008.
He's a former chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly, a position in which he was frequently quoted in news stories as a supporter of national immigration reform.
This year, Celis was active in supporting state legislation to authorize college financial aid for students illegally brought to the United States as children. That bill, known as the "Real Hope Act," was signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Jay Inslee.

On Sunday evening, Americans celebrated the Sabbath by watching the Academy Awards. I went to bed. When I awoke, I was pleased to learn that T-Bone Burnett had won an Oscar for the theme song of Crazy Heart, a low-budget sleeper of a movie that also won the Oscar for Jeff Bridges for best actor.
That is only part of the story. Burnett co-produced the movie. If people head off to see it in order to find out why Bridges won, Burnett will get even richer.
Bridges actually turned down the part of Bad Blake until he heard that T-Bone was going to do the music.
Burnett is a genius in his field, which is country music. He became a legend after three decades of hard work when he produced the soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou? back in 2000. Without any advertising and with only one song remotely resembling a hit single in the country music charts, that CD sold seven million copies. Incredible!
He has won Grammies. He has won other awards. He is not only well-respected as a back-up guitarist, he is truly legendary as a producer. It took decades of hard work, but fame and fortune finally caught up with him. He deserves both.
In his acceptance speech, Bridges thanked lots of people. He said: "Thank you guys for keeping us all together and for making it all happen. T Bone Burnett and Stephen Bruton for bringing all of that great music and those wonderful musicians to the party, man."
He did not say two things. First, his character Bad Blake was based on Bruton, which it was, musically. He was a fine song writer, a good performer, and on the road for years. Second, Bruton died just after the movie was shot. Cancer got him.
Bruton and Burnett grew up in Ft. Worth. They moved to California together in 1970. Their careers overlapped, but they went different ways. He toured with Kris Kristofferson for 40 years, when Kristofferson toured. He did the country music in "A Star Is Born" for both Kristofferson and Streisand. He had bit parts in a few movies. He never became rich or famous. Then, at the end, Burnett brought him in to do the music for "Crazy Heart." He never lived to see the movie.
He died before the applause.
If you go to his website, it does not indicate that he is dead. It says that no road shows are scheduled.
Burnett made it bigger than most men ever make anything. Bruton got a thank you in Bridges' acceptance speech. Yet he was an enormously talented man. Bridges months ago posted a link on his site to a memorial video on Bruton. It is a well-done, low-budget video. Insiders will remember him, but the public won't.
This is the second time this has happened to a Burnett-related musician. John Hartford was a banjo player and old-time fiddler. If he is famous for anything, it is for writing "Gentle on My Mind," which became a hit for Glenn Campbell. He devoted his life to bluegrass and old-timey music. He performed several songs in O Brother. He toured with the O Brother live musical show after the CD became a hit. In April 2001 he had to quit because he was losing the battle to lymphoma. He died on June 4, 2001. On June 15, a documentary of the group's pre-tour performance in 2000 at the Ryman Auditorium opened at the Nashville Film Festival. It was scheduled for one showing. It stayed in the theater for weeks. Then a DVD was released. I wrote about this in late 2001.
Hartford had his share of applause, but he did not live to see the opening of the film on the performance he had hosted. He spent his years doing fine work, but fame and fortune eluded him.
In every field, there are stories like these.
Huddie Ledbetter, aka Leadbelly, was a mainstay of the folk music scene in the 1930's and 1940's. He worked in obscurity. He wrote songs. In 1933, he wrote one that he always believed would be a hit: "Goodnight, Irene." He died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 1949. In 1950, The Weavers, a previously unknown folk group, turned "Goodnight, Irene" into a smash hit. It was their first hit, and they became a sensation. They made it on the pop music circuit for a while. The song was later recorded by Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, and others, who made mini-hits out of it.
Otis Redding was a soul singer who had a following, but was never a major star. He died in a plane crash at age 26 in late 1967. Three days before, his record was released, "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay." It became his only #1 hit, the first posthumous #1 in Billboard history. He had recorded dozens of songs in 1967, just before his death. They were released as albums over the next three years. They sold well. He saw none of this.
An entertainer knows that few people ever make it to the top. He knows that the applause will probably not be there, except in small clubs or as character actors. But what of those people who labor in obscurity, knowing there will never be any applause?
One of the most important documents in the history of Western civilization was Justinian's Code. The Emperor Justinian in the early sixth century A.D. had his bureaucrats and lawyers compile the code of Roman law. This was the Corpus Juris Civilis. It became the foundation on Medieval civil law and church or canon law.
It was not translated from Latin into English until 1932. The translator died before it was published. His executor published it in 17 volumes. It is a rare item. Only major research libraries have a set.
He never saw it in print. He finished the manuscript in 1922. It stayed unused for a decade until his death. It turned out that it was not a good translation. It is rarely cited.
In 1920, an immigrant lawyer from Germany named Blume was living in Wyoming. He began his translation of the Code. That task took him the rest of his life: half a century. In the meantime, he served on the Wyoming State Supreme Court. He died in 1971 at the age of 96.
Night after night, decade after decade, he labored on a project that only one man had ever attempted, and that man had failed. There was no audience for the set, assuming that he ever completed the task. No university press was likely to publish it: no market.
He was a self-taught scholar. His manuscript was annotated and cross-referenced. It was 4,500 pages long. He willed it to the University of Wyoming, which filed it away.
In 2005, a Wyoming professor began typing it into a digital format. In 2008, it was published on-line. For the first time in history, English-speaking scholars have access to the Justinian Code in English. The amazing story is here.
My son-in-law located this less than a week ago. I had suggested to him that possibly an English translation might be available. With Google, he found it in a few clicks.
Whenever I think of a thankless yet important task, I shall think of this project. The translator knew there would be no applause. There probably would be no publisher. Yet he toiled on and on, because this was his calling: the most important thing he could do in which he would be most difficult to replace.
He died before there was digital typing, typesetting, or Web publishing. He did his work for half a century, despite the fact that he could see no market for the final product.
This is what it takes to get some major projects completed. Some dedicated, near maniacal visionary decides to do something that no one else has ever done. He thinks it is worth doing. As his unpaid life's work, he does it.
We hear of a few cases like this one. Like this one, cases that are brought to completion. In this case, someone the translator never met used technology that he could not imagine to complete the task. He, too, is a visionary. He did not want the treasure to remain buried. He dug it up.
Ludwig von Mises was a great economist. He lived in a century that regarded free market economists as eccentrics. He labored in obscurity after 1922, when his book against socialism was published: Socialism. He fled Europe in 1940, escaping to the United States just ahead of the Nazis, as he and his wife fled from Switzerland across not-quite Nazi-occupied France to Spain, and from there to the USA. He never received a paid academic post. He was allowed to teach as a visiting professor at New York University, which did not pay his salary. He died in October 1973 in obscurity.
In the spring of 1974, a conference of older and younger scholars was held at South Royalton, Vermont. They were mostly followers of Mises. The older men had known him. The younger men had not. I had met him only once.
That fall, his disciple F. A. Hayek unexpectedly won the Nobel Price in economics. From that time on, Mises's reputation has increased. He never saw it coming.
In 1982, Lew Rockwell founded the Mises Institute. It slowly began to develop a mailing list. It promoted Mises's ideas.
Mises's disciple Murray Rothbard labored in obscurity from the time he received his Ph.D. in 1956 until the mid-1980's. He wrote voluminously and brilliantly. Only because of the Mises Institute did Rothbard finally write his way out of the shadows. He died in 1995. The digital revolution of the Web was about to begin, made possible by the graphic browser. It arrived in 1995, just as Rothbard departed. In that year, Rockwell set up www.Mises.org. In 1999, Rockwell set up www.LewRockwell.com.
Today, Rothbard is better known than he was in his lifetime. He received more catcalls than applause from the economics profession. Mostly, he received silence. He did not seek applause. He did not need it. If he had, no one would know of him today. He would have quit.
I hope you have found your unique project that no one else will do, and which someone had better do.
I have been working on mine for 50 years. I am getting closer. I completed my first draft of "An Economic Commentary on the Bible," which I began in 1973. Now technology is on my side. It wasn't in 1973 or 1960, when I got the overall idea.
I started long before the technology existed. Technology will get better. We can see this now. It is best to start when you can and not wait for the technology to deliver the final product. Content is king, not technology.
Is there anything in your life comparable to the Justinian Code translation project? Probably not. Be thankful.
Is there anything that you think ought to be done that no one else is likely to do? If there is, you should consider mapping out a long-term plan to bring that project to fruition.

If you didn't see this clip two years ago then you should see it now. Manal Al-Sharif is the woman behind the wheel of the car. And she is the first woman to drive a car in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
'You know when you have a bird, and it's been in a cage all its life? When you open the cage door, it doesn't want to leave. It was that moment."
Manal sat in her Cadillac SUV (Yes, the first car to be driven by a woman in Saudi was a Cadillac) and drove around the streets of Khobar while her friend recorded the journey.
If people remember, there was a great "call" for women to drive (Often by us) but it petered out. Scaremongering from the Saudi establishment drove them indoors. Women were threatened with "Wolves in the street who would rape you if you drive" and Manal basically had enough. It takes one person to break the wall to start a flood and Manal decided to be that woman.
The response from a lot of Saudi Arabian society was positive. The women felt she had broken a barrier. However the men? She received a near constant barrage of email and phone call death threats.
She worked for a company called Aramco who chided her for her "stunt". In Response? Manal took 2 weeks off on Vacation leaving with a written message. "2011, Mark this year. It will change every single rule you know. You cannot lecture me about what I'm doing."
In a country where women can be killed by their fathers this is a massive act of open defiance. Again, less than a week after her first drive she got behind the wheel of her car. This time she was stopped by the Traffic Police who quickly summoned the Saudi Morality Police (Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice). She was detained for 6 hours and was released when all they could accuse her of was breaking tradition and that's not a crime in Saudi Arabia unless they wish to start arresting all car owners and those who use electricity. She was again arrested a day later and held for a week and released only when her Father intervened and agreed to forbid his daughter from driving in the KSA ever again.
All for just driving a car.
The KSA was once one of the more permissive countries in the Middle East.
In 1979 Sunni extremists killed hundreds of worshippers at the Grand Mosque in Mecca. It took two weeks and aid from the French to break the siege. This resulted in a problem for the KSA. You see, the issue was that in any theocracy, the theocrat is king and the ultimate theocrat is the fundamentalist. This was an embarassment to the reigning Al-Saud family. So the government began a program of appeasement. It tried to build an education system based on islamic principles and became a moral islamic nation.
Women ceased to be taught and were excluded from common society. In one fell swoop to gain peace, the Al-Saud family disenfranchised the burgeoning rights of women. It was after this that radical Islam became a way of securing their strength.
This results in a terrifying country where just 12% of women work and own 5% of businesses. This was a country where morality police effectively locked 15 young girls into a burning school house (2002) and stopped their rescuers because these girls were not properly dressed.
Islam was used to divide society. In the bid for Radical Islam's domination of the world, it created an atmosphere of ignorance and hate and considered anything moderate as a destruction of Islamic values.
In Saudi Arabia women may wear sexy lingerie but they do not wear it for their husbands. Think? You spend hours putting on make up then cover it behind a veil? These things are for the women. They wear it to know they are getting one over their oppressors. In a world where they cannot show their individuality outside they show their individuality inside. A few saudi friends told me how they would purchase the most outrageous heels and clatter along simply because that was one of the few ways they could be special.
In 1990 during the Gulf War we drove through Iraq and Saudi. My mum at that point had been driving for nearly 5 years. My parents collected news articles from the event. During that time? Women demanded the right to drive. They argued "It's an emergency, their male guardians may not be available."
We also have brochures that were distributed of women who drove in defiance of the ban with their names and house numbers encouraging people to "call them to come back to Islam". It also used the same kind of language we in the west know and love when it comes to rape apologists and slut shamers. When in doubt? Accuse women of being sluts.
Ms. Sharif has paid a terrible price. She was awarded the Vaclav Havel (a man I regard as frankly amazing and one of the heroes of the modern world for his role in the freedom of the Czech Republic and peaceful dissolution of the Soviet Union) prize and is the first holder of it. And that's when things started getting worse.
"They said no one will embrace Islam after watching this speech, because what I showed is a violent religion. But what I showed was my personal story," she says, adding that it is "an insult to Islam, to any religion,"
It's never the fault of those responsible. It's always the fault of the people who want to improve things. After all? If no one complains about injustice then no one will notice the injustice.
Ms. Sharif was pushed out of her job in May 2012 and has since relocated to Dubai, where she lives with her Brazilian husband, Rafael. The couple met in 2010 when they were both working for Aramco. She needed permission from Saudi Arabia's interior minister to marry a non-Saudi, says Ms. Sharif, who has a 7-year-old son from a previous marriage. "It's your personal life, and they get their noses into it even at that level."
The minister rejected Ms. Sharif's request to marry a foreigner, and her ex-husband bars her son from traveling outside the kingdom with her, so she can see him only by visiting from Dubai every weekend. "It's the worst thing flying back to Saudi Arabia. I'm on the surveillance list, so every time I go, they stop me and they take more information. They monitor my travel."
The al-Saud rulers, she says, are cracking down on dissidents out of fear that the Arab Spring's reverberations might spread to the kingdom. In early March, two founding members of the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association received long jail sentences for, among other things, starting an unlicensed human-rights organization. The arrests, she says are meant "to shush the others, because they talk about the same things we talk about: constitutional monarchy, political parties, having political rights. So they take these people and make an example out of them."
The sentences were handed down less than a week after new Secretary of State John Kerry visited the kingdom. His visit was a disappointment for Ms. Sharif and others who share her outlook. "He just praised Saudi Arabia for appointing 30 women to the unelected Shura council," she says of Mr. Kerry. "It's a fake body anyway, a powerless body. You can't praise something that's not tangible, that's merely a cosmetic change." If American officials aren't willing to criticize the Saudis on their rights record, she says, "at least they shouldn't praise them."
As our interview ends, one question remains: Has Ms. Sharif gotten behind the wheel of a car in the kingdom since the heady days of her campaign? "Yes, I drove again," she says. "I'm a normal woman, a normal person, and I just want to drive."
This bird won't be returning to its cage anytime soon.

Time Warner Punkslaps Netflix
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- My response to Jim Cramer's response to my contention that he's not just an old dog, but a crazy fox for pounding the table for a Microsoft (MSFT) buy-out of Netflix (NFLX) deserves a two-part retort of sorts.
On Page Two of his piece, Jim makes two key points:
1. Because it has a strong balance sheet and is not desperate like Netflix, Microsoft has better bargaining power as it negotiates streaming content deals with big media companies such as Time Warner (TWX).
2. Reed Hastings, contrary to my portrayal of him, is a "stand-up" guy who displayed "very good leadership" when he apologized for 2011's streaming/DVD split and price increase.
On point one, I call Cramer objectively wrong. On point two, it's a subjective thing. A matter of individual interpretation of Hastings' style. From what I know about Hastings from people who know him, he is a tremendous individual. However, based on the way he conducts business as CEO, I'm opposite Cramer here. Let's approach Hastings from a broader perspective that matters within the context of point one. For me, this -- along with how MSFT positions itself in the living room -- strikes the heart of the debate. If Cramer likes Reed Hastings, he must absolutely love Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes. There is not a better CEO in the business. And there's not a finer management team than the one Bewkes has assembled at HBO. The other day Time Warner announced a streaming service: Warner Archive Instant. Initially, it will not matter much, but that's irrelevant. The bigger picture, the dynamics of digital content licensing matters. The big media companies -- Time Warner, News Corp (NWSA), Comcast (CMCSA), Disney (DIS), CBS (CBS) -- hold the cards. They dictate the terms of engagement. What they will license to a third-party, for how much and all the other restrictions around its use and consumption. Do you think it really matters who sits at the other end of the table? Do you think Amazon.com (AMZN) gets preferential treatment from the big content owners just because it's back isn't against the wall? Apple (AAPL) hasn't gotten very far in its quest to secure content from the old guard media.

More in Bathroom
There are many different styles and materials you can choose from, such as stone, glass and metal. And many different types of faucets to complement your decor.
You can mount the sink on a pedestal or choose a cabinet with an opening designed to accommodate the drain assembly.
If the bottom of the vessel sink is flat, you can mount the sink flush to the surface, using a bead of silicone around the seal to prevent water from working its way underneath the vessel. For sinks with rounded bottoms, a mounting ring elevates the sink and helps with the stability and the seal around the drain. Mounting rings often come with the sink, or can be purchased in a variety of finishes to match the faucet and drain.
Recessing the vessel into the countertop will provide a greater degree of stability. The larger the hole, the lower and more secure the sink will be. To experiment, you can cut a piece of cardboard the desired size of your hole and place it inside your sink. This will show you the approximate depth your sink will sit. Be sure to keep the height of the faucet in mind when making this decision. Once you're selected the proper sized hole, you'll want to bevel the edge of the opening and seal around the outside with clear silicone.
If you're installing a glass vessel sink, you'll need to provide a cushion between the glass and the counter, such as a bead of silicone or a rubber seal. Over-tightening the drain assembly can break the glass vessel, so hand-tighten only and follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.
For rounded sinks, a mounting ring helps stabilize the vessel if it's sitting on top.
The drain slides through the sink opening and is secured from below. One caution: overtightening can damage the vessel. Then connect the sink to the rest of the plumbing.
When it comes to faucets, there are several different options.
Single lever faucets can be installed on the counter behind the sink, or you can choose a faucet that can be mounted on the wall above.
All fields are required.

But who decides which song should cost more or less?
Well, we have Apple's real world iTunes store success (against a background of many failed attempts at subscription bundling) versus some musings about the results of a very artificial experiment. Ah, which one to trust?
Fazal Majid said:
> "...This article ignores the deep loathing consumers
> feel towards perfect price discrimination..."
That is so 100% spot on.
MSFT does this with Office, XP, Vista, and Win7. Stripping useful features out is _only_ done to price discriminate. There is no other explanation. My friends are so resentful they use full-featured, pirated, copies. Heck with it. They won't take the abuse.
Call me old-fashioned, maybe, but I don't believe that $20 -$25 is too much to pay for an album that I really want to have in my collection, and expect to get years of pleasure out of.
And an album that I don't particularly want, I am probably not going to bother with, even at $5.
Are most people really against paying this sort of money ?
The price of an album is less than the price of a carton of beer, and I know which one I'll be getting use out of, for longer !
Ease up on the puns a bit. I understand the temptation. Did you know that many decaffeinated blends taste as good as the real thing?
Just wanna point out one tiny error in this article: Ben Shiller is referred to as a professor, but in fact he is currently a PhD candidate at Wharton.
Excellent discussion so far (even when considering smack's ignorant argument).
But when did Music pricing become worthy of an 'Economic Focus'. It should have been relegated to one of the general finance/economic articles.
This article (and associated research) could have been more insightful by comparing price discrimination-based profit strategies vs. alternatives for sustained profitability : such as
making products better so people will buy them.
Don't pricing strategies eventually make products commodities? Can someone comment on the degree to which an over-reliance on pricing (as a strategy to develop competitive advantage) is responsible for backlogging America's banks from figuring out who to lend capital to?
This article ignores the deep loathing consumers feel towards perfect price discrimination and other techniques, perceivingly them correctly as an attempt to fleece them.
The backlash from heavy-handed attempts at price discrimination would probably lead to an increase in piracy, and an ensuing fall in profits. Apple's marketers have amply demonstrated they have a better grip on consumers' pulse than the reviled recording industry.
The only reason why they consented to tiered pricing was that it was the only way to get music labels to drop their obnoxious insistence on Digital Rights Management (DRM) that stymies law-abiding consumers' enjoyment of music while doing nothing to curb piracy (quite the opposite, as DRM-laded music is less attractive to users than unencumbered pirated music).
@Smack. You don't have to haggle to "pay less than you'd have been willing to pay". By definition, you would not pay *more* than you'd be willing to pay - but any price less than or equal to your maximum willingess to pay is an acceptable price. All that is implied is that someone who thinks they got a bargain probably got something for less than it was worth to them, at most. Or it wouldn't be a bargain, right?
I don't think anyone at the Economist is inventing consumer surplus, a little thought would tell you what it was.
Referring to consumer action at Filene's, someone at the Economist writes, "the pleasure of having bought something for less than they were willing to pay."
Yet, that claim shows idiocy.
Shoppers at Filene's pay exactly what they're willing to pay. They don't pay less. They pay the exact amount.
No haggling happens. These shoppers pay the price on the price tag.
You, at the Economist present readers with a bogus concept, a false belief -- "Consumer Surplus".
Again, here's the truth: the most these shoppers would pay is exactly what they paid.
In truth, these persons have demonstrated their time preference by waiting and buying after the boought clothes have become out of fashion. These same shoppers were unwilling to buy at a higher price when other sellers and market informers deemed such clothes to be in fashion.
Simply, whomever at the Economist wrote the story titled "E pluribus tunum" lacks knowing economics.
