Will the Luxemburgists stand by Trotsky as he arrests the True Germans to give himself a 48 out of 92 majority?
Yes, the True Germans, Anarchists, Revolutionaries and Democrats should all be arrested, and the Luxemburgist faction should be absorbed by the Marxist- TROTSKYIST faction!!
Election of 1900
The 1900 election was to be the first of the 20th century for the VSVR. At the dawn of the new century the People of the Republic and the Party were presented with several very different visions of the Republic from the 6 competing factions. The permanent and international revolution of Trotsky, the more pragmatic but still expansive revolution and more neutral domestic policies of Liebknecht, the international pacifism of Bernstein, the Anarchism of Goldman, the peasant Republic of Sorel or the nationalist revival of Bismarck. It was a crucial moment in the Republics history and would mark its 50th anniversary.
After initially shooting to an impressive shooting to an impressive lead in the polls Trotsky was faced with a significant challenge from Emma Goldman as the Right and Centre of the Party rallied around the Anarchist cause. Nethertheless the promise of the expulsion of the True Germans and more importantly of a great revolutionary war swayed the Party in Trotskys favour and he finished with a strong electoral triumph. In past election only Karl Marxs two victories in and Lenins first victory had drawn a larger portion of the Party behind one man.
With Trotsky domineering within the Peoples Party and securing election as Chairman the outcome of the Constituent Assemblys election was all important.
The result of the Assemblys election was a minor disaster for Trotsky. Even before the election the Marxist factions had agreed to continue their alliance in the Assembly yet the Marxist Blocs share of the Assembly had fallen 5 seats being lost. Whilst this result may not appear disastrous from the outside it took the Bloc bellow the 50% mark and denied them a majority. Considering Trotskys plans for radicalism this could prove to be a major roadblock.
Elsewhere Sorels Revolutionaries suffered minor losses as they fell from 28 to 26 seats, Bismarcks True Germans fared slightly worse than expected as they claimed just 8 seats, the Democrats lost 4 seats and the Anarchists gained 3.
With the new makeup of the Assembly the Central Committee would be forced the change. The fall of the two minor Marxist factions (the Moderates and Militarists who were both absorbed by the Marxist-Leninists) left two new positions in the Central Committee. One was gained by the Marxist-Leninists due to their large share of the vote and the other was given the Bismarck.
The new Marxist-Leninist member of the Central Committee was to be the Scottish by place of birth, Irish by ancestry, revolutionary James Connolly the first ever English speaking member of the VSVR Central Committee. Born in the glorious city of Edinburgh in 1868 to Irish immigrant workers he was forced to go to work at just 11 due to the harsh economic situation of his family and of the Irish community as a whole. However after 3 years as a child labourer he struggled to find work and enlisted in the British Army at just 14 (falsifying his age). He would serve for 4 years, mostly in his ancestral homeland of Ireland, during which time he came into contact with Marxism. At his 18th birthday he returned to Edinburgh and to work in the citys factories. However he quickly became involved in the Union movement and before long the Labour Party. In 1893 he was elected to the House of Common as a Labour MP at just 25 years of age. However he left the Party in 1896 after Labour approved the use of force to quell unrest from Irish Republican workers in Dublin. After this he turned more to radical politics and moved to Ireland where he became involved in Irish Republicanism trying to mould the movement into a Marxist one. However after taking part in a Republican-Socialist uprising in Cork in 1897 he was forced to flee the British Empire. Like so many great figures of Leftism he was quickly drawn to the VSVR where he arrived before the year was out. With an impressive reputation (he had been seen as the leading Revolutionary Socialist in Britain) and an already significant reputation he tentatively joined the Marxist-Leninist faction which was by this time increasingly guided by Thalmann due to the leaders ill health since Luxemburgs assassination. Ever ambitious, hard working and inspirational Connolly overcame opposition to his roots (whilst the Russian émigré community had been somewhat accepted by the Peoples Party much of the Party remained hostile to other émigré politicians) to become one of the leading lights of the faction. His reward was the position of Commissar for Foreign Affairs.
In the immediate aftermath of the election the Peoples Party would go through some major changes. Firstly Emma Goldman and Eduard Bernstein agreed to form an alliance of the Old Right (the New Right was a term used to describe the new unorthodox factions who did not fit into the traditional Right-Left axis namely the Revolutionaries and True Germans). Goldman and Bernstein agreed they had far more in common than they disagreed on, it was also clear that with the rise of the New Right as an alternate opposition to the Marxist factions their support was being squeezed. It was hoped that by uniting Anarchist and Democrat support they could once again become a force capable of challenging the Marxists and New Right for government. So the Democratic Anarchist faction was born. However the new alliance was not supported by everyone.
3 Anarchist Assembly representatives (a full ¼ of their members) and an even larger portion of the lower ranks of the Anarchists rebelled and broke away. The so called Anarcho-Kadonists supported the views of the Anarchist Revolutionary Kadon made famous by the Young Anarchist movement he created, his victory against Blanqui in the Crisis of 1865 and his fight against Lenin the Civil War (1883-1884) which ended in his death. Essentially the Anarcho-Kadonists claimed that all Anarchist actions since the alliance with the pro-Union Independent faction in 1880 had been strayed from the true Anarchist ideology. They accused Goldman of revisionism and compromise with the statist enemies of the Anarchist movement. This back to basics Anarchist faction was largely the modern iteration of the Young Anarchist radical variant of Anarchism. They wanted to revitalise the movement, restore its revolutionary character and once again support the immediate breaking down of the Marxist constructed state edifice.
They were led by the almost legendary Ukrainian revolutionary Nestor Makhno. Between 1893 and 1898 Makhno had led the Revolutionary Insurrection Army of the Ukraine (better known as the Black Army). The Black Army had originally started as a small band of a few dozen committed peasant Anarchists led by Makhno. They came to fame in November 1893 when Makhno led just 100 men in the spectacular capture of 1,000 Tsarist soldiers (a night time raid on a barracks caught them in their sleep). At its height in 1897 the Black Army fielded between 10,000 and 20,000 men in the Southern Ukraine. A mixture of association with the VSVR (who invaded Russia) and a violent Tsarist crackdown meant the Black Army collapsed and in 1898 Makhno was forced to flee to the VSVR. When he arrived the radical Anarchist movement seemed to be on deaths door as Goldmans more moderate stream dominated the faction. However Makhnos fame allowed him to re-legitimise radical Anarchism. Unsurprisingly Makhnos radical views meant that his relations with Goldman and the leadership remained icy. The alliance with the Democrats was the last straw for Makhno and he left the Anarchist faction, both he and the entire Republic was quite surprised to see just how large a portion of the Anarchist faction he brought with him.
Shortly after the breakaway Makno published a pamphlet called The Anarchist Revolution:
The changes in the Old Right were just the beginning in this revolutionary period in the VSVRs history. As Even as the Anarcho-Kadonists were still grouping together Trotsky made good on his promise of expulsing the True Germans as he put the proposal of expulsion before the Constituent Assembly. No faction had ever been expulsed from the Peoples Party in its 50 year history.ANARCHISM - a life of freedom and creative independence for humanity.
Anarchism does not depend on theory or programs, which try to grasp man's life in its entirety. It is a teaching, which is based on real life, which outgrows all artificial limitations, which cannot be constricted by any system.
Anarchism's outward form is a free, non-governed society, which offers freedom, equality and solidarity for its members. Its foundations are to be found in man's sense of mutual responsibility, which has remained unchanged in all places and times. This sense of responsibility is capable of securing freedom and social justice for all men by its own unaided efforts. It is also the foundation of true communism.
Anarchism therefore is a part of human nature, communism its logical extension.
This led to the necessity of formulating anarchism's basic theories by the use of factual material and by systematized analysis. Some people (enemies of freedom, enemies of solidarity) were to try and conceal anarchism's truths or to slander its ideals; others (fighters for man's right to lead a proper life) were to develop and clarify this ideal. I think that Godwin, Proudhon, Bakunin, Most, Kropotkin, Malatesta, S. Faure, and others never believed, that they could harness anarchism, a framework of immutable scientific dogma, by their theories. Instead, the teachings of anarchism represent a concerted effort to show its roots in human nature, and to prove that man's creative achievements never deviate from it; anarchism's fundamental trait, the negation of all bondage and servitude, is likewise to be found in human nature.
Anarchism means freedom; socialism cannot destroy chains or bondage.
I am an anarchist and a revolutionary myself, and I took part in the activities of the revolutionary peoples of the Ukraine. The Ukrainians are a people who grasp instinctively the meaning of the anarchist ideas and who act them out. They suffered incredible hardship, but have never ceased to talk of their freedom and freedom in their form of life. I often made tactical errors on this difficult path, as I was often weak and unable to make judgements. But because I correctly understood the goal towards which I and my brothers were working and I was able to observe the effect of living anarchism during the struggle for freedom and independence. I remain convinced on the grounds of my practical fighting experience that anarchism is as revolutionary, as diverse, and as sublime in every facet as is human life itself. Even if I only felt the remotest glimmer of sympathy for anarcho-revolutionary activity I would still call on you, reader and brother, to take up the struggle for the ideal anarchism, for only if you fight for this ideal and uphold it will you understand it properly. Anarchism is revolutionary in this and many other aspects. The more awake a man is, the deeper his thoughts about his situation are. He will recognize his state of slavery and the anarchistic and revolutionary spirit within him will wake and show itself in his thoughts and actions. It is the same for every man and woman, even if they could never have heard of it.
Anarchism is humanity set free from the constraints of the old society and of the statist Marxist society of this Republic. Anarchism is the only pure, the only just and the only possible root to communism.
We must continue the memory of Bakunin, who led the Anarchist armies during the Rhineland Revolution, of Proudhon who guided the faction during the Republics early years before his murder by the Marxist Blanqui and of the greatest revolutionary of them all Kadon who defeated the most vile forces of the statist Left in 1865 and fought until his own murder by those same forces in 1884.
Long live the revolution!
- Comrade Makhno
The result of the vote would shake the Marxist Bloc alliance and undermine Trotsky in particular. The entire Democratic Anarchist faction, the Anarcho-Kadonist faction (although they hated the True Germans above all else Makhno believed that their expulsion was just the first step on Trotskys road to purging the entire Party of non-Marxists) and the True Germans. This together gave the No vote 26 of 100 votes. Sorel demanded that the Revolutionaries (26 members) vote against Trotskys proposal. However he faced a massive rebellion against his leadership from the Left of the faction led by Chernov. Chernov was alarmed at Sorels cosiness with Bismarck and led a faction of the Revolutionaries which was essentially Marxist in nature although they championed the peasantry, they therefore hoped to see Bismarcks counterrevolutionary group expelled. However Chernov was not willing to go all the way to voting in favour of expulsion and so the 6 rebel Revolutionaries abstained. This left the No vote with 46, the Marxist Bloc consisted of 48 members.
However a large section of the Luxemburgist faction and even 1 Marxist-Leninist chose to abstain from the vote.
The final tally was 41 in favour, 46 against with 13 abstentions. The Assembly had rejected Trotskys proposal.
However, legally, the Assembly was nothing more than an advisory body. Whilst in reality Chairmen were largely forced to accept its verdict it was the Central Committee that had the true power in the Republic and Trotsky chose to ignore the Assembly going straight to the Central Committee (he also claimed that since the True Germans would rightfully be expelled their votes were invalid). However here the Marxist Bloc was again outnumbered with 5 members to 6 members of other factions.
It took all the political manoeuvrings Liebknecht (a pro-explusionist) and Trotsky could muster to convince the ever moderate Necazian to vote in favour of expulsion yet if the other 6 members voted against they would still be beaten. However Chernov came to save Trotsky by abstaining from the vote. Left with 5 votes in favour and 5 against Trotsky had the tie breaking vote as Chairman and passed the legislation. The only person able to challenge a Chairmans ability to break such a tie is the Speaker of the Assembly and due to the Marxist-Leninists being the single largest faction this Speaker was Ernst Thalmann Trotskys chief supporter. So Bismarck and the True Germans were expelled.
Following the expulsion the Assembly looked rather different from the one that was initially elected. The Marxist Bloc now had a narrow but absolute majority, the Old Right had split between Democratic Anarchists and Anarcho-Kadonists, the Revolutionaries looked at risk of a split themselves whilst there were 8 vacant seats.
Nestor Makhno was allowed to take Bismarcks now vacant position in the Central Committee.
Only Chernov and Weber occupied the same position as the same time 5 years before.

So lets review what just happened (BTW yes I did write most of this earlier - when the M-Ls had a hefty lead and seemed to have no challengers , turned out to be a mistake as the Anarchists rallied).
The Assembly currently has 82 members, 48 of whom are from the Marxist Bloc. Trotsky has set out his stall as a man who is willing to take authoritarian measures if he feels it is in the interests of the revolution.
The Old Right has reorganised. The moderate wing of the Anarchists have merged with the Democrats to create the Democratic Anarchists (I swithered about Anarcho-Democrats but thought that was too close to Anarcho-Kadonists). This alliance of the moderates has basically forced the hardline Anarchists to break away and form the Anarcho-Kadonists. The Young Anarchist path finally solidified as a faction.
The New Right looks in trouble. The True Germans have been expelled whilst the Revolutionaries are in trouble. The Left Revolutionaries (centred around Chernov) look likely to break away at some stage although they are yet to do so. However even if the TGs have been expelled the reasons that brought them into existence have not been extinguished and their viewpoint shall inevitably remain in the Republic. We'll see how the New Right progress.
But the most important outcome for the immediate future is the fact Trotsky's leadership means war on a scale not yet seen by the revolution nor the VSVR.
Can you hear the whispers? They are the whispers of the war minister!
Whoops! Forgot to mention that aside from the last couple of paragraphs the bit I quoted from Makhno is from a real life work by him called the Anarchist Revolution. So thank you Nestor Makhno! Thank you Marxist Internet Archive!
Hmm, I might switch allegiance again. Trotsky is awesome, but now we have Makhno too...

Despite I am a firm supporter of M-L and voted for them it is simple unacceptable for a true Socialist to ignore the will of the Assembly... Not only i will not support Trosky again , but also i propose that the true power be tranfered from the committee to the Assembly , as a measure to guarrante democracy within the party. Do not mistake my words, Anarchists,Revolluonaries still represent an opportunist minority against the revollution but it is dictatorship of the working class we fought for and not the dictatorship of Trosky... Yes it is true that nationalism has no place within the Party but you cannot just ban them against the will of the Assembly.

And someone calls this a democracy?
I kept posting endlessly pro-Anarchist messages, the Anarchists gained their best score so far, but still Trotsky gets elected and decides to start his purges?
Meanwhile, Kadon who seems absent becomes a huge martyr and my party is split into two?
The assembly should be voted by forumites. It appears to be too dangerous to let the people listen to Trotskyist filth.
Trotsky shall contaminate our revolutionary being. Trotsky has begun the annihilation of the opposition.
Do you all want really that bad a new civil war?
I think it should be far, that after all this shit thrown around my party, the Marxists-Leninist-Trotskyist impudent, irreverent, wanton, contumelious crapola ought to be purged, decimated, annihilated, liquidated, exterminated and purged by fire.

A Special Appeal to the People of the Republic
Comrades. This is a day of sadness for all those committed to liberty and to the Party, and for all those opposed to tyranny. But above all it is a day of sorrow for those who wish to defeat the True Germans. For I speak not of this false defeat that you see here, this expulsion. That will only make them stronger. Because the True Germans represent an idea, and is not one of the truest sayings of socialism that ideas are bulletproof? Ideas cannot be killed by suppression or expulsion or censorship. Words, once said, remain said. The cat is out of the bag and will not be forced back in. Those of you who can remember the days before the Rhineland Revolution are few, but the capitalists tried to kill the idea of socialism with force. They failed. They could not succeed. And this cannot succeed. We must confront the vile ideas of True Germanism not with weapons, but with ideas of our own. Fight fire with fire. Only by showing their ideology to be the rotten corpse that it is will the True Germans be thrown back on to the ash heap of history. Trotsky has attacked a symptom but has left the disease unchecked!
What of Trotsky's co-conspirator, Karl Liebknecht? Liebknecht, inheritor of the legacy of the martyred Rosa Luxemburg, the woman who stood most of all for the liberty of thought, respect for the institutions of the republic and the soviet system. I ask you now, comrades, has he upheld that legacy? The purging of the Party, the subversion of the Assembly and the fatal weakening of the soviet system are accepted readily. Has he remained true to the ideals that made the Luxemburgists great? And for those of you that think he has: the results of the last election speak for themselves. Reduced from ruling party to a pitiful third place. This newspaper must remain true to Luxemburgism as created by Luxemburg, and therefore it hereby withdraws all support from Karl Liebknecht and his policies.
- Comrade Communard
That is quite an extensive change to what was being voted for. With them undesirables split off of the anarchists they will be an even greater threat to the marxists in five years. I guess it will all depend on how the next term plays out.
What was that? Did I hear someone say snap elections? The marxists will never allow that to happen...
"Nothing makes them happy! They are dedicated to being unhappy, and to spreading that unhappiness to others! They are the Ambassadors of Unhappy!"
I agree somewhat with Communard, as I am also very disappointed by the actions of Liebknecht. But instead of being disappointed about the expulsion of the new Germans I am instead disappointed that he ignored the assembly...
I therefore recall my support for the Luxombourgists

OK. I just started Trotsky's revolutionary war in game (OMFG ). Prior to this I did a few calculations counting up standing armies and mobilisation pools and came up with this frightening little stat to wet your apetite. The League of Nations (name for counterrevolutionary alliance I'm going to use) can field in excess of 10,000,000 men. I (fighting without my allies as I don't trust them not to get stomped) cobined with the French Workers' League (there's a big ongoing commy rev in France so I thought I'd include them) have around 3,500,000 men under arms. Ever non-socialist state in Europe with the exception of Portugal is at war with me. This is going to be big lads.
As this war aims to actually overthrow the old regimes rather than change borders I've decided to make a few rules for myself before getting stuck in.
In order to declare my revolution a success I need 40% warscore (at least), to be occupying their capital and their 2nd and 3rd most important cities. For France this would mean I need Paris, Lyon and Marsailles (sp?), for Russia Moscow, Petrograd (I feel a name change is in order) and Kiev. For Austria-Hungary this would mean Vienna, Budapest and .... erm. I dunno about their 3rd city - Pressburg? I don't expect to be able to destroy Britain but if I did get across the Channel then it would obviously be London, Liverpool and Glasgow.
OK. Enough of the rules. On with the WAAAAR! I'm scared.

One of the next big things, wearable computers, actually has been with us for quite some time. It is only with the coming of Google Glass and the rumored wearable glasses from Apple that this slow revolution has achieved a high profile.
ABI Research predicted that wearable computers will "explode in popularity" during the next five years, and the expectation is that 485 million devices will be sold annually by 2018.
Here is a look in the latest in wearable computing. Some of the devices are available, some are expected soon, such as smart watches from Apple and Samsung, and some are in development.

He drives to the mall, runs to the toy store and says to the shop assistant, "How much is that Barbie in the window?"
In a condescending manner, she says "Which Barbie?"
She continues, "We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.00".
Ralph asks, "Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.00 when all the others are only $19.95?"
"That's obvious" the sales lady says. "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture..."

I was wondering when people setup a 3x1 AMD's Eyefinity or NVIDIA Surround setup its usually with a resolution of 5760x1080 that assumes a 1080p display x3. Most PC monitors however support higher resolutions than this. Are greater resolutions supported by the hardware or at software level (drivers/in-game settings?)
Why can I not for examples of 3x1 portrait setups using 1080p thin bezel tvs? This surely would be the cheapest big screen setup available and a route I am looking at for myself for the future.
Hi Vivian,
This is quite a tough question, but you really need to see the difference in person. First, TVs may say "200Hz" but they are usually only 50Hz, with motion blurring or fast motion assist or whatever jargon they've used, to make it up to 200Hz.
This means the picture on a $3000 HDTV for gaming, doesn't refresh as quick as a 60Hz LCD monitor. The picture quality will be a little worse as the pixels are much higher due to the screen size, which is where 4K comes into play.
Input lag is also an issue, especially for gaming, as the TVs aren't as quick in response as an LCD monitor. Then we have 120Hz LCD monitors which are true 120Hz - refreshing 120 times per second for liquid smooth gaming. This is the ultimate in gaming in my opinion, especially for first-person shooters.
As for support for greater resolutions, yes - the hardware supports it. Most of AMD and NVIDIA's latest GPU's support right up to 4K (Ultra HD) @ 3840x2160. This is done either over HDMI (at 30Hz for now) or DisplayPort at 60Hz. 4K is quite expensive right now, with ASUS' 31.5-inch 4K-capable monitor priced at $3,999.
Now, multi-monitor gaming is an entirely new ball game. The same rules apply for delay, but it would be cheaper to have a 3-screen setup (Eyefinity or Surround Vision) with 42-inch (or bigger) HDTVs, but the experience wouldn't be as good as say triple 60Hz (or 120Hz) LCD monitors.
You're better off with a single big HDTV for games you could play with a controller, like driving games, some RPGs, etc and for first-person shooters, have a 120Hz monitor, or three!
Ask the Experts Question: I have some questions about high resolution gaming and multi-monitor gaming, help!
What's the difference between using TVs and monitors for high-res, multi-monitor gaming?

My first serious animation, Twin Gods is a collage animation about the Mesoamerican gods Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca. They are essentially the light and dark of each other, respectively. I was taking a World Mythologies class at the time and thought it would be great to use what I learned and animate my take on it.
This was created using ToonBoom AnimatePro. I believe this was the first time I learned how to use keyframes and different effect modules, especially the Colour Scale module, which is used a lot for transitions between day and night. In this particular case, you can see it when the fire rises up in the background.

This is such a wonderful book to read after you have lost a loved one. It made me realize that there are things we can watch for and ways we can communicate with those that have passed. I thought I was just imagining some of the things that were happening since my grandmother passed, but now I see that she can send me signs to let me know she is there for me when I need her. I was so close to her when I was growing up and now I realize she is still there to guide me if I just ask. Thank you Allison Dubois

Fan in Garage?
drevaOctober 30, 2006
A friend suggested we install a ceiling fan in the garage since a gas furnace in the garage would cause the heat to rise to the ceiling of the garage. This struck us as the craziest thing we'd ever heard.... We live in Northern Michigan where it can typically get below freezing every winter. What should we do in our new house? We were thinking of putting a gas furnace in the garage.
Heat rises no matter if your in the garage or kitchen. Installling a ceiling fan can help circulate the heat.
If you reverse the fan blade rotating direction opposite the direction you would have them go in the summer it will help circulate the heat. Don't know how much of a difference it will make.

King Arthur was actually Arthur Mac Aedan, the sixth-century son of an ancient King of Scotland
Pic: TSPL, The Scotsman
|Author Adam Ardrey claims that instead of the romantic English king of legend who lived at Camelot – which is often said to be Tintagel in Cornwall or in Wales – Arthur was actually Arthur Mac Aedan, the sixth-century son of an ancient King of Scotland, whose Camelot was a marsh in Argyll. He claims that King Arthur was a Scottish, pre-Christian warlord whose remains are buried on Iona, according to the Scots historian's new book.
He also suggests that Arthur pulled the sword Excalibur from a stone at Dunadd near Kilmartin, died near Falkirk and was buried on the Hebridean island of Iona, which he declares to be Avalon. Ardrey, an amateur historian who works as an advocate in Edinburgh and previously wrote a book claiming Merlin the wizard was actually a politician who lived in the Partick area of Glasgow, spent years investigating his theories and says that they can be proved "beyond reasonable doubt". The assertions in his book Finding Arthur: The True Origins Of The Once And Future King are strengthened by the discovery in 2011 of what some experts believe is King Arthur's round table in the grounds of Stirling Castle. Ardrey says he not only believes Arthur is buried in Iona but would love to see the site excavated to look for proof. He says:
The legendary Arthur is said to be buried in an island in the western seas – Avalon – but in the south of Britain there are no islands in the western seas. Iona fits all the criteria. It's an island where hundreds of kings were buried. Some say 128. Other members of Arthur Mac Aedan's family were buried there too. I say Arthur was also buried there.
Ardrey states that Camelot is a nondescript marshy area north of Dunadd, an ancient hill fort in Argyll, where the sword in the stone "scene" was enacted.
|He said that he also believes Arthur's 12 battles were fought on different sites across Scotland, including Stow in the Borders, where he says the Battle of Guinnion took place, and the Battle of the City of the Legions, which he says was fought on the site of the Roman fort of Trimontium in Melrose. He said:
Pic: TSPL, The Scotsman
Many historians have attempted to link Arthur with Cornwall and Tintagel Castle, and in 1998 an ancient stone bearing a sixth-century inscription similar to the name Arthur was unearthed at the castle, the mythical birthplace of the legendary king. It was hoped that the discovery could prove that King Arthur had his headquarters at the site of the ruined castle on the north coast of Cornwall, but the findings – of a piece of slate inscribed with the name Artognov – Latin for the English name Arthnou – remained inconclusive. However, in 2011 it was believed that Arthur's Round Table may have been unearthed by Glasgow University archaeologists investigating the King's Knot in the grounds of Stirling Castle. The book also asserts that Arthur became the victim of an establishment conspiracy which was determined to recast him as an English Christian hero. It also claims that, as a Scottish man of the druidic "Old Way", he was the last of his kind holding out against a zealous Christian onslaught. Ardrey said:
I am hoping the book provokes debate and discussion. But if I'm right, then 100 years of British history needs to be rewritten.

I have heard and read many versions of this story, especially when I worked on Iona. There there is the movie with Clive Owen as Arthur that touches on this.
The first thing I think of is that there is not one exclusive Arthur, or Artur, which seems to be in all European languages and beyond during Roman times. In Ireland he is Airt or Art.
I am biased and like the Scottish Arthur stories, such as this, even though they may not seem as colourful as the Glastonbury, Cornwall, Welsh and Irish stories around where I live.
I think the important thing is not to let Arthur become like a super hero like Superman or a Messiah that is to appear and solve our lives woes for us.
There is much in all Arthur stories to fill us with wonder, motivate us, and bring clarity to our values, morality and honour.
Good to have books like this come out from time to time to remind us that stories we hear may not have originated from a singular person.
Hi Jiohn,
Some good thoughts there, thank you!

Artur is named King of the Britons, just how exactly does that make him English? Especially in a time when England has not come into being? The Anglos give England their name after Artur's time.
# John Willmotton 26 Dec 2014 at 1:31 pm
Good one Allen. It's amazing how folks use this stories today to define their nationalism even though these countries did not exist way back, as the lands were labelled according to tribal divisions. There was not the land ownership back then. Nationalism has come about through ownership.
Hi John,
Your comment also makes me wonder exactly what the early relationships were between labels and ownership where land was concerned. Did early man label his territory or claim owbership to it? We know that certain landscape features, the Paps of Anu, and monuments, the Brú for example were 'associated' with Ancient Heroes or Deities (very much like the Corryvreckan whirlpool is associated with the Cailleach) and these names point to an ancient origin. In later times, Ogham inscriptions seem to commemorate men rather than these 'larger-than-life' figures.. On the surface, it seems that the further back into history we go, the more the landscape becomes the realm of the Gods and less that of men or tribes. I wonder what the concept of the Land was before 'naming' and 'ownership' became fashionable? Just speculation…
Many blessings,

You got down-voted for daring to tell the truth.
It is just a damned tricky tax.
Those SS statements were short lived. I think I got them for about 5 or 7 years only.
The government is trying to get out of the post office business now. It served it's purpose for hundreds of years. The State always owns all services that enables it to control the population. Now it can spy on everything you do far easier electronically so it's trying to remove itself from the snail mail business. As for your 'retirement', well, that money was spent stirring up a hornet's nest on the other side of the globe leaving you with untold numbers of enemies. Which further validates my point - they control your communication, security, and 'retirement', among all of your other basic needs.

Zune Chan is a chan girl like any other on 4chan but she post porn of herself. I think she appeared around 2007 on /b/ getting a lot of attention even by the mods. She caused a lot of chaos on /b/ and like Boxxy did, she divided /b/ in two, the ones who like her and the ones who hated her. Her real name is Caitlyn Molnar. A little research on google and you'll find out she's Miss Columbus. Recently she started vlogging on youtube on her geek channel about games. She deleted the channel not long ago and now she's gone. Again. In my motherless.com group of her (link below) there's a guy who know her and is posting some casual content of her. That's all I got. I really hope I can see an article about her.

I wish I knew what a contraction felt like ...

Sounds like a Bh to me.

Yeah, that's a BH contraction. When the real ones happen, you'll know, trust me. ;)

That's a bh contraction. Active labor contractions are much worse. You'll know once your at that point!
**Happiness is just a hairflip away**
Posted 01/19/2013
That's a bh alright. I wouldn't even notice them unless I was looking down and saw my belly tighten up, or felt the wind knock out of me. For some reason they always made me feel that weird breathless feeling. Mine got more painful before the real ones hit, but not bad. The real ones, for me anyway, were a lot like a combo of awful menstrual cramps and back pain right on my coccyx.
Posted 01/19/2013
Just like everyone else said it looks like brakston hicks contractions, but I was having real contractions on my last pregnant and did not felt a thing. I went to ER because my stomach was REALLY hard, they hook me up and the nurse said " you are having a very strong contactikn right now" and I was like "really? Cause I can't feel it" and I was 3 dilated already. I started to feel the contractions when they put me pitocin and when I reach 7 dilated, so I was in pain for only 2 hrs, from 7 to 10 dilatation . So who knows maybe you would not feel it until its time to deliver. Good luck

Oh man see that's what I'm afraid of lol ..

For me, they felt like a slight tightening that went from my lower back & moved to my belly. At first they aren't painful (it's nothing like in the movies or on tv). My SIL with her 2nd baby felt nothing until she was dilated to an 8. She was walking around at 5cm for a week. Everyone's labor & pain tolerances are different.

Posted 01/19/2013
Everyone feels the real ones a bit differently. For me, all the pain was concentrated in my lower abdomen, and they felt like period cramps. Others feel them in their back, sides, or higher up on their belly, too. But any way you slice it, by the time you're in active labor you'll have figured out what the difference is between the false alarms and the real things.

Last week I had menstrual like cramping with lower back pain and belly tightening. They said I was having preterm contractions but they were so far apart, not to worry. I assume that's what they will feel like when it's time, just closer together..

Spanking is not child abuse.I would rather get a spank than hold a sign,the spank would go away a lot faster than the humiliation.The shaving the head thing is way to harsh.
by emmacd on 6/4/2013 10:38:44 PM
Because of my parents punishing tactics, I have been told that I probably have no respect for authority because I was not punished enough. While I understand why someone may think that way, that's not so.
My parents have never grounded me or spanked me. They really don't see the point. And honestly, I don't either. From an observational standpoint, I've seen that grounding does nothing to curb the "bad" behavior in the first place. Maybe because it isn't properly connected with the punishment. For example, my parents always sit me down before a punishment (particularly when I was little) and explain why whatever I did was bad. Then it wouldn't be grounding, it would be taking away a privilege relevant to the crime. In my experience, grounding is barely ever relevant. It's used as a one size fits all punishment, which doesn't always work. Hannah M

Wow, this is intense. I think some of it is ok, but the shaving their daughters head part? wayyy to evil. I think learning punishments from actions is necessary but after the punishment, the action should be forgotten.
by sammyy99 on 6/4/2013 7:28:02 PM
This punishment is good. I agree that our generation is getting out of hand and groundings and spankings don't work anymore. Even if you ground a child, they'll still find a way to have sex, drink, sneak out and party. After being forced to walk around with their offenses on their backs I don't think any child would dare to do it again.
by justinbeiber#1 on 6/4/2013 6:47:51 PM
If they are going to do something they know is wrong, then they deserve the punishment. Obviously this works. I do think that shaving her hair is a bit overdone. But, as teenagers, we are rebellious and think we are invincible. These girls have been brought down from their high place. I can imagine that some girls are a bit frightened by this and will stop what they are doing.
by soccerholic on 6/4/2013 6:26:37 PM
Spanking is not child abuse. My older sister and i got spankings and we turned out fine. She has a full ride scholarship and is engagement and has no kids. I do perfectly decent n school and respect my parents. ^^^ I can agree some of this is wrong but, that almost like me having sex n the hallway and wondering why people are being mean to me. Like if someone @ their school had found out first, they wouldn't hav their parents teaching them a lesson. I bet half these kids won't do stupid crap again. It's not ok. I'm glad many of the GL editors and assistants don't hav kids because sometimes spankings and timeouts don't do.
by briana13 on 6/4/2013 6:15:23 PM
First off, spanking isn't child abuse...My parents spanked me and to tell you the truth, I'M GLAD THEY DID! If they didn't I'm sure I wouldn't be as respectful to them as I am. I meet so many teenagers and kids that are disrespectful to their parents and its sick. Second, this article is saying that its basically wrong to punish kids when they do something wrong. If they cant spank them or make them hold up signs what other punishment is there? I agree that the hair shaving was a bit much, but still? So many teens go unpunished for their bad actions and they turn out to be ignoramuses. Do you want the world full of ignoramuses? I'm pretty sure we have enough already!
by Chloe<3 on 6/4/2013 6:12:09 PM
Oh please! What these kids were doing were pretty bad, and if you'd be embarrassed by people knowing of your terrible behaviour, then don't do it.

Warm afternoon in the GH
While there are more blooming than these 4, I thought it was a nice group: clockwise from top - Showmaster, Magnum (another very flat bloom), Green Dragon, and Evergreen.
I just counted 20 other "older" bulbs that I've had for years that are sending up 1-2 scapes each. This is just the start of the scape hunt as I hope to have another 50 of more send up scapes. I counted 142 pots of mature older bulbs, not counting bulbs new this year, my own crosses, or year-old seedlings.
I would hope that at least half of the older bulbs bloom.
Is there anyone else who gets so compulsive over hunting for scapes, or do you just say, "Hmmm.... there's another one. Ho hum...."
Geez.... I look for them, plant little flags in the pot so I can follow them, document, etc. I know my efforts don't make them bloom any faster, but I keep track of the number of scapes (I used to track the # of blooms/scape). It lets me remember who the star performers were, which ones were reliable bloomers, etc. Things to keep in mind when hybridizing.
Stay warm...
I have at least 100 more pots...at last count (because I do keep a log) I had nearly 150 different named hybrids (some duplicates of several). I also have loads of crosses made by me over the past few years, but still waiting for those to bloom.
I also have about 20 "others" growing under a screened enclosure to protect them from flying insects. They have virus but I am determined to let them live out their natural life, but don't want to expose healthy bulbs to them. They are separated by screen and distance.
Over the weekend I got a shipment of 100 one-gallon pots and 35 pots that aren't quite 2-gallons. It will be time to transplant some bulbs and split mother bulbs from offsets before bulbs get moved to their "summer pasture" in 3-4 months.
I have a running list of name, source, and date acquired. I have photos of each in bloom (not each time they bloomed, but at least one photo of blooms).
Problem is... I changed computers last year so have photos on flash drive. Still have running list that I update each time a box arrives.
Beautiful blooms & yes I look for new scapes every day! I have many that are putting up scapes some are several inches high, cold spat has slowed them down, but it is warm today so I'll have blooms before long! Mine are all mixed up since I had to treat them for the Narcissus fly, lost many of mine to this pest!!
