"Books Change Lives" at any time of life
The Books Change Lives Program is part of the Ann Arbor Book Festival. BCL encourages readers to tell us about their favorite all-time book and how it changed their lives. Rachel's favorite book is Strider by Beverly Cleary. Here's what she had to say about it: "I don't know how many times I have read Strider, but I know it better than any other book. The situations that Leigh Botts faces make me love it so much. He found his comfort in writing about his anxieties and in running with his dog. The way he wrote about running made me want to run. In high school I started. Running boosted my self-esteem, kept me focused and lively, and helped me push myself. Like Leigh Botts, running helped me deal with my social awkwardness." Do you have a favorite book that influenced your life?
Favorite all-time book? Tough call. I've read two books more than a dozen times each: THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, and Richard Farina's BEEN DOWN SO LONG IT LOOKS LIKE UP TO ME. I've also taught both books at the university level and the former in high school. They're both remarkable, one a high school coming of age story (sort of), the other a wild tale of college life on the cutting edge era between the end of the heyday of the Beats and the beginning of what evolved into the hippie movement of the Sixties. The first involved youthful struggles with sex and alcohol, the latter not-quite-so-youthful experimentation with drugs and the perils of both sexual dalliance and romantic commitment.
It's probably fair to say that each represents breakthrough prose styles, though certainly Pynchon's influence on his friend Farina is in evidence. I'm not enough of a Salinger scholar to say whose style(s) influenced his first work.
Did these books change my life? Sure. They opened up new worlds every time I read them. They represent in many ways touchstones, since I see new things every time, reminding me that I'm a different person each time I read one of them or the other. How, exactly, I was changed BY reading them is hard to say at this point. I'm 55, hardly a kid, and I've read thousands of books since I first read these two old favorites. But few tales are more firmly imbedded in my mind, and so I have to choose them.

Where am I going wrong?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 06-03-2003 - 1:27am
I made an appointment at the dr.s office the other day. We had to switch doctors because ours went on to other things. When we finally get back to see the doctor, I explain why we are there and he just flat out refuses to get these girls on any meds. He said they arent ADD because they were sitting calmly. I told him they didnt have ADHD and there is a difference but he still doesnt get it. So we are back to square one. I want to put the girls back in school but dont want to do it until I know they can keep up. But I know at this point they cant do that without the meds. Homeschooling has helped, but I am going to eventually have to go back to work. My nephew is on Concerta and it has done wonders for him. (He has the exact same problems as my girls)
So what do I do? Do I switch doctors again until I find someone who knows what they are talking about or just go with what this doctor says and start again with the girls on work we have been over again and again, hoping they will retain it this time? I am really at my wits end on this. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

The fact that the doc (I'm guessing a pediatrician?) did not give you meds right off the bat is NOT a bad thing. But, ADD/ADHD kids are able to sit still. They are NOT all 'hyper.' As a matter of fact, when my DS was diagnosed as ADHD (in addition to ODD) we were surprised, even the doc ... because he isn't the typical ADHD poster child. There are 3 components of ADHD ... attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity. Often more than 1 is present, but not always all 3. My DS has the impulsivity issues, with attention a small problem (the later isn't enough to warrant intervention.) But, we had a full evaluation conducted by a licensed psychologist ... and we go to a child psychiatrist for meds. Our pediatrician (who happens to have an ADHD child himself) is not the one administering or diagnosing medication for ADHD.
My suggestion to you would be to (individually) have each girl tested, with a full evaluation, if you haven't already done so. If you put them back in public school, do not have them in the same classroom ... it is possible that they are feeding off each other, and maybe need to be separated in order to learn better. But, see what the results of the evaluation reveal, and take it from there. IF there is a problem (ADD or something else) then you'll know where to go from there.
Remember, too, that not all children learn the same way ... and perhaps the problem isn't an attention issue at all, but in the way they are being taught. Schools focus on one method of teaching all kids, usually, but not all kids learn the same. Check out: http://www.allkindsofminds.org/ It's really quite interesting.
It is sometimes hard to accept the fact that our children are not 'perfect' ... but remember, no child (no person) is. Everyone has some sort of hurdle in life to overcome, and the things they learn to overcome as children will make them stronger adults. ADD/ADHD or any number of behavioral or learning disorders are not life sentences. IF it turns out that medication is suggested, don't look at it as a failure ... look at it as something that may help them reach their full potential. Just like giving insulin to a child with diabetes, medication for ADHD can be critical to their survival. (There are docs that are too quick to prescribe and medicate ... and the fact that your doc isn't one of them is a good thing!)
Good luck. I hope you get the answers you're looking for. It just sounds like you may have to explore it all a little further, but perhaps that can be your focus for the summer ... get all the answers and the right direction, so they can go to public school in the fall.

In answer to your question about the diagnosis. On September 17, 2001 they were seen by a team of experts at the local childrens hospital for a whole score of evaluations. This is when they were diagnosed with ADD. Actually one was diagnosed with ADD and one with borderline ADHD. They were both said to have weak fine motor skills, speech problems with articulation (R/W), a learning disability in Math and spacial problems. We were told at this time that we needed to get them on medicine in order to help them but I refused. So instead we tried behavior modification. The school also had more extensive tests performed which came up with the same results. When they told me I needed to put the girls on meds, I pulled them out of school and started homeschooling. This was in February of 2002.
Since then I have done hordes of research on ADD/ADHD and learning disabilities. I have probably even posted here a time or two with questions or one of my new found 'solution of the week'. I researched learning styles. I have done so much research that sometimes I feel that I could give the doctors a lesson on these subjects.;)
The homeschooling has helped them because they get the one on one that they werent getting in school and because I was so strict with the school about how they should treat my children. They both still have trouble -lots of trouble- with focus. They will sit still but if I dont make the work interesting enough or go quick enough to hold their attention, they will start daydreaming. Then some days one may daydream while the other wants to learn and the next day the other child is daydreaming. It has been frustrating and some days I just want to sit and cry, but I think the worst part is knowing they know something and when I ask them a question it seems a wall will come up in their brain that keeps the info from getting out. It hurts me because I know now that this is hurting them. It has affected their self-esteem and if I keep letting it go on, I just feel they will lose all faith in themselves.
So anyway, this is why I decided to go ahead and try the medicine. At first I didnt feel it was in their best interest, but now I know that they need it.
Sorry this is so long. I really havent had anyone to talk to that actually understands what we are going through.
Thanks for the advice,

And, even if your DDs need meds, they are still perfect. God doesn't screw up. He doesn't make mistakes. I firmly believe that God doesn't give us more than we can handle, so the fact that he blessed you in double makes me feel that you are a very strong and capable mother! I firmly believe that. I've been hearing a lot from other parents (of 'perfect' children) who are so quick to point out how they would never put up with this, they would never allow their child to do that, etc. And, the "God doesn't give us more than we can handle" came full circle for me this week ... that's why He gives those parents those perfect children ... because THEY couldn't handle anything less than perfection. It has nothing to do with THEIR parenting abilities. It's not that THEY do things better than we do because their kids get straight A's or excel in sports or are practically perfect in every way. It's because He knew that they couldn't handle anything more difficult! He saved the challenges for those of us who he knew would be stronger and more tolerant. And, remember too that the obstacles they overcome as kids will make them much stronger adults. (Those perfect children will be on the therapists' couch complaining about their mothers.) Sorry, I'm in a mood tonight and annoyed with some of those 'perfect' mothers right now.
Anyway, perhaps you can go back to the hospital where the evaluations were conducted to see if they can't get you in to see one of their docs who would be in a position to do a quick update on the evaluation (since it is 2 years old) and see about med-options.
And, stick around here. These ladies really are the best! The best you can do for yourself is to get a good support system, people who know ... and that's exactly what you've found here.

The Bay Bridge - now with a soaring, signature tower anchoring the new east span - is finally open.
At 10:15 p.m. Monday, Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol took down barricades at on-ramps and interchanges and let traffic flow to the bridge for the first time since Wednesday night, when it was closed to allow construction crews to make the transition from the old east span to the $6.4 billion new span.
The bridge had been scheduled to open at 5 a.m. Tuesday. But construction went smoothly, and Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty announced at the dedication ceremony that it would open Monday night.
Soon after the first car zipped through a Fastrak lane at the north side of the toll plaza, hundreds more followed. Traffic increased as the CHP gradually opened ramps and interchanges leading to the bridge. Within a half hour, traffic was crawling toward the metering lights, which remained green. It was the new Bay Bridge's first traffic jam.
Unlike the morning commute, when drivers curse and clutch their steering wheels, motorists honked their horns, hooted and hollered. Some of those stuck in traffic chatted with other drivers and exchanged high fives.
Surj Gish, a 40-year-old writer from Oakland, waited two-and-a-half hours at the West Grand on-ramp for his chance to be one of the first across the bridge. He wasn't disappointed.
"I didn't have many expectations," he said as he stood outside his car after getting off the bridge at Treasure Island. "But when you come around that curve and go under the wires, it's cathedral-like. It was pretty breathtaking."
Before the bridge could open, it had to endure one final bureaucratic delay: a two-hour dedication ceremony larded with 14 speeches, mostly from politicians.
While nearly 1,000 dignitaries and guests gathered in a refurbished Caltrans warehouse turned into a meeting place and potential museum, scores of construction workers applied the finishing touches to the new eastern span Monday afternoon.
All of the major work connecting the new span to the toll plaza and Yerba Buena Island tunnels had been completed by morning but contractors were still applying striping, installing railings and signs, and cleaning up the new bridge for its debut. Several of the speakers talked of the hard work that created the bridge and the appropriateness of the bridge opening on Labor Day.
"This bridge was made out of more than steel and concrete," said Amy Rein Worth, chairwoman of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. "It was made with pride."
Workers recognized
Mike Flowers, chief executive officer of American Bridge Co., the lead contractor, said workers from all over the world contributed to the bridge and deserved recognition.
"The (self-anchored suspension span) is like my little girl," he said. "It changed my life. And it's going to change many lives."
Several speakers mentioned the Loma Prieta earthquake, which killed one driver when her car plunged into a gap in the road when a section of the east span collapsed. The collapse spurred an investigation into the seismic fitness of all the state's large bridges and, eventually, a recommendation to replace the Bay Bridge's eastern span.
"None of us should ever forget that the new east span is first and foremost a seismic safety project," said Steve Heminger, executive director of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. "And that it is being finished before the next big earthquake. That the bridge is so good-looking is just a bonus."
Traditional chain-cutting
After the speeches, the crowd made its way to the toll plaza, strolling across the eastbound lanes. Lt. Gov. - and former San Francisco mayor - Gavin Newsom wielded a cutting torch and burned through a length of chain held up by other dignitaries, a Bay Bridge tradition started in 1936 when then-Gov. Frank Merriam did the deed. Several minutes later, a procession of motor vehicles - from CHP motorcycles to Model A's to Teslas to an AC Transit bus - squeezed through the toll booths and slowly made its way across the new east span.
With the new span open, drivers should avoid the urge to slow down and gawk or pull over and take photographs, said CHP Officer Daniel Hill.
One of the reasons that no specific opening time was announced was because the CHP did not want drivers flocking to the bridge, lining up at barricades or pulling off on the side of the road for the chance to be among the first to cross the new span, said Hill.
Stopping on the side of the freeway except for an emergency is illegal, he said, and the CHP will be prepared to cite drivers who do so. The same admonition goes for the new bridge, which not only has wide-open views but also shoulders where drivers could, but should not, pull over to take pictures.
The CHP escorted the first drivers across the new span then monitored traffic to keep it flowing - but not too fast. With no S-curve, and no steel girders alongside the road, drivers have a straighter shot to and from the Yerba Buena tunnel, as well as unobstructed views.
Hill said the CHP has done a speed survey on the new span and set the limit at 50 mph - the same as the old span, except for the S-curve. But they know some drivers may be tempted to go faster.
"The open feeling may give some people the inclination to accelerate," Hill said. "We want to let people know that is not acceptable to the Highway Patrol."

No likey, no clicky.Warning, some swearing ahead.No likey, no clicky. by pokemonsonicgirl123
Not too long ago, I saw a journal from a stamp maker I used to watch with a new, yet stupid, rule saying, "Any stamp requests regarding couples which are extremely offensive will be denied." My first reaction was "What??" and then my second was "What. The. Hell." with me facepalming at the utter stupidity of that new rule. And it was coming from a stamp maker of all people. She even went to say that HongPiri is offensive! Okay, there's the Manila tour bus hostage crisis back in August of 2010, but they settled the spat in April! What's up with that?!
First Hetalia's slammed for being racist, the anthropomorphized country gets slammed for being offensive, their Nyo counterparts get slammed for being offensive, I got slammed for being racist just because I hate a Hetalia character (*coughPrussiacough* and fuck off social justice warriors), and now Hetalia couples are offensive? That's like saying Seymour x Yuna from Fina

You may ask any question, and they will answer it. Even if we have to resort to forceful means.

America shifted uneasily in his seat, wondering whether or not he should speak and just begin the meeting or wait for a while. England had a frown on his face, a slightly worried look on his face. China too, but he looked more bewildered. Italy looked slightly frightened of the tense atmosphere, and didn't even spout some random nonsense to break the silence. Germany, like England, had an even bigger frown than usual. Japan's usually emotionless worried face was more worried than usual.
Overall, everyone was quite uneasy. Except for Greece, who was asleep.
All their gazes, be it worried, concerned, bewildered, annoyed or whatever, were all directed to two nations in particular.
Well, one nation, actually, since the other wasn't even independent.
Hong Kong and Singapore were directing death glares towards each other like they were bitter enemies.

Hand made tile coasters are a great way to personalize your home. These Artistic Tile Coasters and Magnets are simple to make when you follow this tile coasters tutorial. All you need is some cheap back splash tile, stamps and a little Mod Podge.
- 1 sheet of backsplash tile
- Rubber stamps
- Black stamping ink
- Mod Podge (in Satin finish)
- Super glue
- Strong magnets
- Cork protectors or felt pads
- Rafia string
- Purchase a sheet of backsplash from your local hardware store. The ones with different sized tiles are great because they let you create multiple coaster and magnet sets of varying sizes.
- Stamp each tile using black stamping ink and your favorite rubber stamps.
- Allow the ink to completely dry.
- Apply two coats of Mod Podge (in Satin finish) to seal them.
- Once the Mod Podge is dry, peel off the cardboard and the webbing underneath each tile.
- Using super glue, attach the magnets to the bottom of the smaller tiles and attach either cork protectors or felt pads to the bottom of the larger tiles.
- Tie each coaster set together using the Rafia string.
- Know your stamps: Some rubber stamps have weak spots, where no matter how hard you push down, the stamp still doesn't show up completely. Test your stamps on paper before applying to the tiles. If you don't like the way it stamps on paper, you won't like the way it comes out on the tile.
- Match your stamp to the tile: Make sure you choose the correct size stamp for where you are stamping. Some tiles may have chunks missing, and if you use a big stamp that covers most of the tile, the design might call more attention to the tile's imperfections than you would like. You can also try to position your stamps so that they don't cover imperfections in the tile.

Many gardeners will use part of their summer vacations for family reunions far from home. Sometimes these reunions are held at family home places where treasured plants have thrived for many decades.
This is an opportunity to consider carefully.
Perhaps there are sweet peas growing on a fence that you have always loved. Or a daylily plant that has been growing in a great-aunt's garden forever. Or a lovely spiraea that you've always admired.
Seeds, cuttings and divisions are practical methods of bringing bits of these plants home to grow in your own landscape and keep the memories blooming. For example, gathering seed pods of garden flowers, such as old-fashioned sweet peas, sunflowers, zinnias or hollyhocks, is a snap. You just collect a brown seed pod, pop it open and let the seeds fall into a paper envelope. Don't do this right outside because many could spill onto the ground. Do this over a sheet of newspaper to catch stray seeds. Keep the saved seeds in a cool, dry place until planting time. Write the name of the plant and the date of collection on the envelope.
Other kinds of plants may require more effort. For example, evergreen and herbaceous perennials such as Lenten roses, ferns, hostas, black-eyed Susans and hardy sunflowers, can be dug and divided. This causes no harm to the original plant, which can be replanted once you complete the division. To do this, simply dig the clump, shake off loose soil and look closely at the base of the plant. There you will see a group of close-knit plants that can be gently pulled or cut apart to make individual plants. Allow some soil to remain attached to the roots to keep them moist. Wrap the roots in a damp paper towel and store these new divisions in a small bag until you get home.
Tall, bearded irises are popular choices and live for many years. They produce fat, horizontal roots called rhizomes at the soil line. But you don't have to dig up the entire clump. Simply work a trowel between the rhizomes to separate them, then gently dig up one, roots and all. The parent clump may remain undisturbed. Transport them in a paper bag and replant soon.
Many old-fashioned shrubs, including shrub roses, spiraea, hydrangea and azaleas, can be propagated by cuttings you will root in small pots for eventual planting in your garden. A rooting hormone will aid the process.
Make these cuttings about 3 inches long, and use clean shears that have been disinfected with household bleach to reduce the spread of diseases. The cut end should be semi-mature wood located just below the soft green wood at the tip of a branch. Green wood could rot before rooting and more mature hardwood won't root readily.
It's best to plant the cuttings immediately in a small pot with potting soil.
Enclose the potted cutting in a plastic bag while traveling. You can put more than one cutting in the pot while they are growing new roots.

@Epley, that's disappointing. I'm beginning to think the best bet is just to pay the extra quarter per crossing and let them charge on the basis of the license plate. I could cross several dozen times before the added cost equals the cost of a pass. Also, they were able to read my rear license just fine (still haven't put the front plate on).
@Douglas R
I'm thinking the same thing...I've already spend $$ on several passes, none of which work. I think I'll go with the surcharge at this point.
It is only $0.25 more per trip to opt for the "read the tag" according to the Good To Go office in Gig Harbor.
Accordingly there is no real need for an RFID device and it is obviously a job for someone!
@Epley - where did you place it? I was told to either put it on the lower left front of the windshield or on the right front headlight. I haven't stuck mine on yet. Let me know what isn't working for you so I can avoid it.
@DouglasR - I haven't put my front plate on yet either. Hopefully I never have to...
Our popcicle stick style transferrable pass works fine. We just slide it between the mirror base and the window when we need to use it. We insert it on the passenger's side where the dots are on the windshield. We make sure that it doesn't interfere with the light sensor on the mirror base.
@Captain_Zap, could you take a picture of the pass inserted as you describe? We have the same pass but I doubted it would work because it's quite a bit larger than the dotted area on the windshield. Thanks!
I removed the motorcycle pass--it was on the driver's windshield. They do not come off well, by the way. It was no longer working. Like the Captain, I've found that the popsicle stick works to the passenger side of the rear view mirror. I wonder if you can stick the sticker pass there without interfering with the sensor?
Mine is right below the mirror mount, centered, and it works fine. I have the removable one (Popsicle stick?) as well. It's not in front of the dots, it's about 3/4" below the mirror mount. Visually it's blocked by the mirror so i don't see it as the driver. It has not "missed" getting read yet.
We attach our transferable G2G pass to our SUV windshield with the furnished Velcro bits, works great.
However, windshield mounting was not consistent on our sedan. So moved the Velcro to the front side of the passenger side sun visor, so it is up against the windshield only when the visor is folded down. (That spot makes it all but impossible to see from outside the car.)
BTW, it also reads 100% when just placed atop the dash, up near the windshield, on every other car we've driven.
I just tried the popsicle stick pass along the top edge of the rear view mirror. It fits perfectly, is nearly invisible, and most important, it worked both times I crossed the bridge today. I'll try a few more times and report, but this looks like a good solution.
I crossed the lake again today, and the pass again worked both ways sitting right on the top edge of the rear view mirror. Time to stick the Velcro on.
Thanks for the tip--the popsicle stick on top works great.

Union Minister for Corporate Affairs M Veeappa Moily on Saturday said a provision in the proposed Companies Bill would allow a minimum of 10 people to come together and form a company with "less rigour of company law and regulations".
He said the Producers' Societies provision in the new bill would promote entrepreneurship.
These societies would be "loosely knit companies" and easy to form in the sense that "rigours of company law will be less as also (less) regulations", he said at a function organised by the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
"I would like to take it (producers' societies) up as a movement," Moily said.
The minister also said India would come out with its own "business index" within the next six months and would identify deficiencies and address issues of hassles.

Hiring an Architect: Part 5- What? Me, hire an architect?
17 September 2013
I recommend you go to Keith's site to read the rest. However, my favorite quote series is…"You could buy a builder house or build a house from a 'plan book' or on-line source. Going that route will allow you to build someone's house, it won't be your house, but it will be a house… I like to equate it as a builder/'plan book' home fits you like a mitten while an architect designed home fits like a glove."
Originally posted on Architect's Trace:
In this final installment of the 'Hiring an Architect' series, I address the most common question I've heard over the years from potential residential clients- "What? Me, hire an architect?" In my experience what they're actually asking is;
"Can I afford an architect, aren't they expensive?"
"Can't I just by a builder house or buy plans from a book and still end up with what I want?"
"Isn't an architect just going to design what they want and ignore me?"
These questions weigh heavily on clients, in reality; they couldn't be further from the truth. However, hiring the services of an architect is not for everyone. Not everyone is building a custom home or taking on a significant renovation/addition. If you are considering/making such an investment, why not hire an architect to assist you in getting what you want? If you want your home to reflect who

Using Debt to Crush Democracy: How Financiers Are Waging Warfare Against Nations
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
*This article appeared in the Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung on December 5, 2011.
Book V of Aristotle's Politics describes the eternal transition of oligarchies making themselves into hereditary aristocracies – which end up being overthrown by tyrants or develop internal rivalries as some families decide to "take the multitude into their camp" and usher in democracy, within which an oligarchy emerges once again, followed by aristocracy, democracy, and so on throughout history.
Debt has been the main dynamic driving these shifts – always with new twists and turns. It polarizes wealth to create a creditor class, whose oligarchic rule is ended as new leaders ("tyrants" to Aristotle) win popular support by canceling the debts and redistributing property or taking its usufruct for the state.
Since the Renaissance, however, bankers have shifted their political support to democracies. This did not reflect egalitarian or liberal political convictions as such, but rather a desire for better security for their loans. As James Steuart explained in 1767, royal borrowings remained private affairs rather than truly public debts [1]. For a sovereign's debts to become binding upon the entire nation, elected representatives had to enact the taxes to pay their interest charges.
By giving taxpayers this voice in government, the Dutch and British democracies provided creditors with much safer claims for payment than did kings and princes whose debts died with them. But the recent debt protests from Iceland to Greece and Spain suggest that creditors are shifting their support away from democracies. They are demanding fiscal austerity and even privatization sell-offs.
This is turning international finance into a new mode of warfare. Its objective is the same as military conquest in times past: to appropriate land and mineral resources, communal infrastructure and extract tribute. In response, democracies are demanding referendums over whether to pay creditors by selling off the public domain and raising taxes to impose unemployment, falling wages and economic depression. The alternative is to write down debts or even annul them, and to re-assert regulatory control over the financial sector.
Near Eastern rulers proclaimed Clean Slates to preserve economic balance
Charging interest on advances of goods or money was not originally intended to polarize economies. First administered early in the third millennium BC as a contractual arrangement by Sumer's temples and palaces with merchants and entrepreneurs who typically worked in the royal bureaucracy, interest at 20% (doubling the principal in five years) was supposed to approximate a fair share of the returns from long-distance trade or leasing land and other public assets such as workshops, boats and ale houses.
As the practice was privatized by royal collectors of user fees and rents, "divine kingship" protected agrarian debtors. Hammurabi's laws (c. 1750 BC) cancelled their debts in times of flood or drought. All the rulers of his Babylonian dynasty began their first full year on the throne by cancelling agrarian debts so as to clear out payment arrears by proclaiming a clean slate. Bondservants, land or crop rights and other pledges were returned to the debtors to "restore order" in an idealized "original" condition of balance. This practice survived in the Jubilee Year of Mosaic Law in Leviticus 25.
The logic was clear enough. Ancient societies needed to field armies to defend their land, and this required liberating indebted citizens from bondage. Hammurabi's laws protected charioteers and other fighters from being reduced to debt bondage, and blocked creditors from taking the crops of tenants on royal and other public lands and on communal land that owed manpower and military service to the palace.
In Egypt, the pharaoh Bakenranef (c. 720-715 BC, "Bocchoris" in Greek) proclaimed a debt amnesty and abolished debt-servitude when faced with a military threat from Ethiopia. According to Diodorus of Sicily (I, 79, writing in 40-30 BC), he ruled that if a debtor contested the claim, the debt was nullified if the creditor could not back up his claim by producing a written contract. (It seems that creditors always have been prone to exaggerate the balances due.) The pharaoh reasoned that "the bodies of citizens should belong to the state, to the end that it might avail itself of the services which its citizens owed it, in times of both war and peace. For he felt that it would be absurd for a soldier … to be haled to prison by his creditor for an unpaid loan, and that the greed of private citizens should in this way endanger the safety of all."
