BALDWIN, Mr, Peary, the Arctic explorer, speaking of Ihe generous gift of the Windward made to him by Mr, Harmsworth, the London publisher, expresses great gratification over this striking exhibition of English good feeling. He considers it another link in the long chain of Internationa' courtesies exchanged in Arctic explor ation. Jt is thought that tho influence of the French language, with ita unas- pirated h, is the primary cause of that letter being so much ignored by Eng¬ lish people. French having been spoken so long in Eugland and the people near tho coast having oomfi in contact continually witb that lan¬ gnage, an indelible impression, it is said, is left upou it, increased now by usage. Oermany's Asiatic policy was not unlocked for, Tho Kaiser has long been of the opinion that Europe must prepare for troublo with the yellow races. That was the themo of the picture he painted two years ago. wherein Oerinania was shown stand ing with .Irawn sword, among her European sisters, waiting the onset of tho Oripntttla. His recent course in Eastern waters merely shows that he means tu take time by the forelock and meet his enemies on their own gronnd, attacking tbem, if the way opens, before their military strength beoomes too great.

To reinforce this view of the case au observation was made on Third street in that oity during the month of October, 1897.

I -gfe:^^ *V^ aea Me lal rtawatti Says the Philadelphia Record ¦Tustico Patterson of New York, in a speech before tho Law Club of that city recently, deplored the fact that the law had become a.i largely a trade instead of a profession; and on the following day Dr, Edward Everett Hale, in an address before an educa¬ tional body iu the same city on "Mor¬ ality in tho Publio Scboois," made tbe declaration: "There is danger of tbe managers of a great machine taking more pride in the machine an.i its workings than in the results it turns out. Thill is tho danger in our public schools." These words will, of course, be resented as the views of pessimists; yet they come from men <|ualifled to speak as public teachers, and com¬ ing simultaneously tbey gain au em phasis which must command atten tlon. We are accustomed to flatter iiurselvos with the idea that our devel opment along material lines necea- aarily involves a corresponding de¬ velopment along intellectual and tn.irni liues. However that may be, the fact can no longer be denied that the commercial instinct is beginning to dominate almost every action of our people.

"She couldn't do it alone." "I don't know what they were," re¬ plied Madeleine, "1 signed overy paper they had on the table, the night they said ahe would die before morn¬ ing." "When was that? " he asked, "More than a month ago, " she said; "and they ]mt them all into the safe in tbe library," "1 know where it is, " said .Teff, "It's your own safe now. It opens with a combination lock, Y'on know tho numbers, of course, aud how to open it? " "No, I dou't," she replied despair¬ ingly, "I never knew how to open it, I don't kuow tho numbers, an.l 1 cnu't lell you. They've kept thcin a secret.

At that monent he was lighting a mattih au.l removing tbe blower from the library-grate. "Oh, Jeff, you dare not!" exclaimed Madeleine, "you must uot! Wbat arc you going to do?" ¦'Nothing at all, he said, calmly, "But flre is good for fraii.l, Hnw well it all burns! Thoregnthe .lee.ls, and the mortgages, an.l the bonds, and oil the notes.

It is right whore he can get it. Don't you think it ought to be iu a safer place?" "It mnst be mine!" she exclaimed, "It can't be his! Ho hasn't auything. He meant to steal it, surely!" "Meant to?

"Put it iuto the bank for me, Jeff, " said Madeleine, "I dare not, and I cannot bear to leave the house," "I'll put the will right back where I found it," be said, as he did so. "They all saw it deposited here?" "Yea," replied Madeloine, "Uncle Wickhnm and the witnesses camodown and saw it put away there,"' "That's whero "they will find it, tben, when tliey come to look for it," said .Teff, an.l he seemed to be worry¬ ing in a very curious way around the lock of the safe. "There! Tbal'll do, 1 guess. Now, Madeleine, I must go." Not many, uot very many, seconds later Jeff walked unconcernedly ont of the honse, as if nothing extraordin¬ ary had happened. Madeleine, ou thc other hand, after closing the door be¬ hind him, went slowlj and thought¬ fully upstairs, A door at her right opened at that moment, and a tall, grim-lonkiug woman stood in it. "How ia mother?" nsked Madeleine, "Is Mr, Lopbam there? ' "He is asleep just now," said the nurse. "She has not stirred or spoken," Madeleine walked past her into tho room, and hent above an emaciated form lyiug upou th© bed. The face was placid, bnt thero could be no misunderstanding of the nios sage it conveyed. "Oh, if I could but speak tn her!" thought Madeleine, while her whole frame shook and her own face grew as wbite as was that upon wbicb she was gazing, au.l then a faint whisper brnke through her lips * "Mother'' A pair nf blue eyes ojieued Iiingunl- ly, and the nurse now at the win.Inw, lli.l not hear aa acutely as did Made¬ leine: "My daughter!

From Washington Monthly (via Memeorandum)
For all of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) many faults, he has one especially interesting habit. Once in a while, for no apparent reason, McConnell will say what he's actually thinking, giving us fairly valuable insights into his plans and motivations.
This isn't to say he's honest -- McConnell has repeatedly proven he isn't -- but rather, that he has occasional flashes of candor. McConnell conceded in August, for example, that as far as he's concerned, literally every idea considered by the Senate in the next Congress "is going to have to be center-right," even if there's a Democratic majority.
In March, McConnell acknowledged the entire basis for his health care strategy, explaining that he demanded unanimous GOP opposition, even to ideas Republicans liked, as a way of making reform unpopular. The strategy had nothing to do with policy or actually helping people, and everything to do with denying Democrats a victory.
And McConnell was candid once more in a new interview with National Journal, explaining what he sees as his "single most important" task in the near future.
"[W]e need to treat this election as the first step in retaking the government. We need to say to everyone on Election Day, 'Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need to go out and help us finish the job.' [...]
The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.... Our single biggest political goal is to give our nominee for president the maximum opportunity to be successful."
This wasn't just some throwaway line -- McConnell is explaining, on the record, how he intends to approach the policymaking process in 2011 and 2012. And as far as the Republicans' Senate leader is concerned, all of his efforts will be built around destruction.
Read the entire article here
Um, hello? That's the job of the loyal opposition, since when have Democrats not done the same for any Republican president?
How is this news anyway? From the word "go" the left NEVER viewed George W. Bush as a legitimate president. He didn't win the popular vote, he won the vote that mattered and they wanted to pretend it wasn't valid. Even after he was "legitimately" reelected all Democrats did was be the party of "no" and force conservatives to endure 8 years of cat calls like "commander-in-thief."
Who do these guys think they are? The party in opposition to the president ALWAYS WANTS THEM TO BE A ONE-TERMER. What kind of party pooping wiener wouldn't? Is there anyone in the GOP?.....Anyone?
Even Joe Scarborough characterized McConnell's comments as "embarrassing" and "pathetic." He's right.
He ruffles a lot of conservative feathers, and I really do want to like Joe Scarborough, but that dude needs to man up. What do the powers that be at MSNBC tell him behind closed doors that forces him to be such a RINO butt-sniffer for those liberal overlords?
As far as I can tell the president has not ever really tried to to work with the GOP. In fact, Democrats bragged about their "right" to steamroll them as a consequence of winning in 2008. So how is the Republican leader in the Senate out of line to say they will shut this president down if and when they get the power to do it?
Of course we want our leaders to work together to get things done, but that's a two way street liberals! For two years this president has spun totally out of control trying to "transform" America and the polls simply don't support what he's doing. He doesn't govern the way he said he would during the campaign, and he apparently expected the GOP to change their mascot from elephant to parrot before having any interest in anything they had to say about any of his policies.
Thats the bed he made and now he gets to sleep in it. Except for Fox News and talk radio ALL of the media...from news, to television, to music, and even comic books have Obama's back. He enjoys unspeakable majorites in Congress, and his approval is in the toilet. There is only one person that will ensure that he is a one-term president, and it ain't freakin' Mitch McConnell...its
Maybe this election will be the surgery Obama needs to extract his head from his sphincter. I'm not that hopeful, because he is the one who has shown an unwillingness to cooperate. The GOP is merely reacting to it.
To be totally honest I hope what McConnell said isn't completely true, because that's exactly the kind of obstinance Obama would need to create a wave of sympathy that could win him a second term. Should the GOP win back any part of Congress they'll need to be very careful to not replicate the arrogance the Democrats put on display for the last two years.

Rediscovering history
By by Caroline Cropp '99, '06M
Measuring 210 feet in length and weighing 520 tons, the blockade runner Modern Greece ran aground off Fort Fisher in the early hours of June 27, 1862, while attempting to evade Union vessels. The ship was destined for Wilmington to deliver supplies for Confederate forces.
While some of the Modern Greece's cargo was salvaged in weeks following the wreck, the vessel gradually slipped beneath the sands and was largely forgotten until storms uncovered the wreck site in 1962. With the help of U.S. Navy divers, a major recovery operation began, leading to the establishment of North Carolina's underwater archaeology program.
In June, preeminent scholars from both sides of the ship celebrated the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the Civil War-era Modern Greece at an open house hosted by the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site's Underwater Archaeology Branch lab. Faculty and student researchers from UNC Wilmington and East Carolina University have been involved in the recovery and restoration of artifacts uncovered at the underwater site.
"The 'coastal war' has been largely ignored by professional historians," says Chris Fonvielle '78, associate professor of history at UNCW and recognized Civil War scholar. "The state of the artifacts tell the story of the trade, it shows why defenses were built to protect."
He points out that as a major seaport in 1863, Wilmington was the "lifeline of the confederacy."
"The importance of Wilmington as a blockade running city should not be ignored," states Fonvielle. "General Robert E. Lee said himself, 'If Wilmington falls, I can not maintain my army'." A graduate of UNCW, Fonvielle also served as the last curator of the Blockade Runners of the Confederacy Museum.
Those attending the open house examined the rifles, hand tools and other items recovered from the Modern Greece. Visitors also toured the artifact conservation lab complete with new storage tanks. Standing above the large tubs housing the artifacts, one might have thought one was looking at parts of a rusted sewing machine. Luckily, there were experts on hand to answer the frequent questions of "What is that?"
Sarah Watkins-Kenney with the Underwater Archeology Branch explained that when recovered after 100 years, items were put into wet storage, which means they were not treated or cleaned with chemicals. This past year, certain pieces were pulled out deep wet storage, cleaned, assessed and cataloged, making them conserved. The restoration process is dependent on funding and staff. The goal, she said, is to have a fully restored conserved collection.
As part of the open house, State Cultural Resources Secretary Linda Carlisle, Kure Beach Mayor Dean Lambeth and other officials unveiled a new sign commemorating the Modern Greece at Fort Fisher. Organizers are also working to secure funding to underwrite a documentary film about the ship and its excavation.

Making Good: Community Art With Amanda Browder
Amanda Browder's residencies and community sewing days are part of UAB's Department of Art and Art History's ongoing Visiting Artist and Scholar Series. The series gives students, faculty, and the community opportunities to interact and learn from each other. (photo by Jared Ragland)
I believe artists have the power to change the world. They can revamp a space, advance a neighborhood, and revitalize whole communities. Vision, belief, collaboration, encouragement, and empowerment are the skills they possess, and when these ingredients are put together and given a chance to steep and simmer, then presto, piece of cake, transformation.
Magic Chromacity will drape parts of the new AEIVA building as well as the ASC across the street. The large-scale art is created by Amanda Browder, sewn by Browder, art students, faculty, and community volunteers during her residencies, and will be installed and presented to celebrate UAB's new Cultural Corridor. Browder likes 3-D imagery and bright vibrant colors. "I like interjecting that brightness into the same environment of the city and community in which one lives to add the vibrancy and pop," explains Browder. "The art space becomes enveloping." (Artist rendering courtesy of Amanda Browder)
There are many good things happening in Birmingham, the Magic City, my city. One recent cause for celebration is the Cultural Corridor at UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham). The new Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts (AEIVA), the Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center (ASC), and the Department of Art and Art History (DAAH) together have commissioned Brooklyn-based artist Amanda Browder to create Magic Chromacity, a large-scale fabric installation to adorn the fronts of the AEIVA and ASC buildings. An artist lecture and an opening reception will be held at the AEIVA on August 28–29, and the works will be displayed through September 5.
After the pieces of fabric are sewn together in long runs, they are stretched out in length on the floor. The next run is put face-down on top of the first, and the two are pinned together by the pinners, and then passed on to the sewers. This group is made up of UAB art students. (photo by Jared Ragland)
I'm looking forward to the installation and events, but it was the community sewing days that I most enjoyed. Amanda Browder, fine-artist, fabric sculptor, installation and visual artist, is a master of crowd-sourcing and amassing a work force for her large-scale fabric art installations. When DAAH Chair, Lauren Lake, planned for Amanda to come to Birmingham and to collaborate with the AEIVA, ASC, and the community, word of the project quickly spread. From Jared Ragland (Visual Media & Outreach Coordinator), to art professors and students, to Lillis Taylor (Bib & Tucker Sew-Op), and to all of Lillis' sewing extraordinaire friends, press releases, blogs, and emails, the word was out. When Amanda flew in to the Magic City to work on the project and lead the community sewing days, people showed up to work. Community sewing days were held at the beautiful new and modern AEIVA building and ArtPlay, a large Victorian home converted into an art center.
Seemingly miles of fabric are sewn together to make Magic Chromacity. Every bit of fabric for the project was donated. Amanda said of her community projects, "People come in and want to donate somehow, even if it is just to donate a piece of fabric." She enjoys hearing stories of people and of fabrics. "It is nice to have people connect in some way, in any way. Each piece of fabric has its own origin." (photo by Jared Ragland)
The artist welcomes the art viewer to become the collaborator, and she has a friendly style of inviting the public into her artwork. She explained her concept of Magic Chromacity to everyone who entered the door. She empowered people to take on whatever task they felt comfortable with, and she exuded positive energy and words of encouragement throughout the hours and days of the group sewing sessions. She had simple rules so that nobody felt intimidated or insecure. She trusted that people were going to work hard and do a good job. The work sessions were not quiet. There were conversations, lively and enthusiastic laughter, and at times, belly laughter. Each time someone came through the door, they were greeted by Amanda's big-kid smile and a hug. She was giving, encouraging, and nurturing.
Bib & Tucker Sew-Op members help line up and pin fabric together in long runs to be sewn. The process and interactions Amanda has with people become the artwork. She says, "I like the non-traditional moments and process that make up each piece, although the final presentation is nice as well. I like the conversational thing, not the museum as a scary or intimidating place. I like the feeling of livelihood." (photo by Jared Ragland)
Even the names of some of her large installations are welcoming and friendly — Good Morning!, Hello Niagara!, Chromatic Hi-Five. While her collaborative construction process is comfortable and friendly, I believe it has a deeper meaning as well. There is a common thread (pardon the pun) in her work. She is constantly challenging the significance of cultural ideals, relationships between art, artist, and patron, artist identities, and dichotomies of fine art and popular culture. Browder's interactive art creeps into your psyche and gets you to think about things in a different way. People are so familiar with fabric and relate to it on a daily basis — the colors, texture, and patterns. Fabric invites a level of comfort, to open one's mind to evoke memories and emotions from the get go.
To make one long color run, many pieces of fabric are sewn together. Amanda instructs the group to go from light to dark on the tables used as templates for each run. After they are sewn together, they are put back on the table to line up and meet with another run of fabric. The table template keeps everything straight. Amanda is a geometry whiz. She was a math major before becoming an academic artist. She likes the turn in her career and the geometry of her work. (photo by Jared Ragland)
Amanda's community artwork is site specific. Each piece is made of donated fabric and made by volunteers from the community. Each piece is of course incorporated into a collective body of her work, but each project belongs to where it was made. Magic Chromacity is made in Birmingham, by Birmingham, and will stay in Birmingham.
It takes a lot of fabric and a lot of volunteers to make Amanda Browder's large-scale fabric sculptures. "I see the community project as being a higher act. I like empowering people to make something as big as a building, as I feel empowered to be able to make something as big as a building," the artist said. "I like seeing people on the presentation days, pointing up to a strip in the fabric to the parts they made." (photo by Jared Ragland)
I am looking forward to the installation of Magic Chromacity, the bold colors and stripes hanging from the two buildings, flowing with the wind. I know spectators and passersby will be wowed, and I will be too, but I am most looking forward to seeing Amanda again, seeing the women, men, kids, and the UAB students I got to meet and spend time with during the sewing workdays. I want to watch people point out the fabric they pinned or sewed together. I want to see people smile and laugh and be proud of each other.
While there might not be an Amanda Browder coming to your town anytime soon, surely there is someone who is leading a community effort nearby that you may get involved with. Go and gather with other folks, make some art, plant a garden, or build something! I guarantee it will be fun and educational.

Does this headphone work with Siri? If not can you recommend some.
I am looking for a headphone that will stay in the ear better than the one that comes with the iPhone 4S
- Asked by Phillip V from Palm Springs
Puma El Diego In-Ear Headphones + Mic
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes it does. Practically any in-ear headphone that is "Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad" will work with Siri. Many that aren't advertised as such, work as well. Usually holding in the Play/Pause or Answer Call button on the mic does the trick. Just make sure some sort of mic with at least one button is included.

I don't know how it is downunda, but in the states no publisher at all will accept an unsolicited manuscript that isn't first preceded by a query letter with a synopsis. Only if they write back telling to send the ms. will they actually read. Even then, very few publishers other than tiniest small presses will read ms's that aren't submitted by an agent. I don't care whether a Writer's Market listing says they accept new authors--that's total bs.
The websites of said publishers (Allen and Unwin, Hachette Australia, and Penguin Books Australia) do say that they accept unsolicited manuscripts, or rather, for the first two, the first chapter or 50 pages of the manuscript. However, Allen and Unwin only accept them on Fridays as part of their 'Friday Pitch', and Penguin only accepts manuscripts during the first week of the month.

Watching the aftermath of ObamaCare's passage leaves me wondering which is worse, watching liberals take their hobbling victory lap on this issue, or having to endure the idiocy of their suggesting that conservatives stop acting like sore losers and "get back to work."
Even Obama is taunting the the repeal hungry GOP to "go for it" with the wind at their backs of the 55% of us that wanted this thing repealed before the ballpoint pen used to sign the it was even invented.
I wonder if he'll be so smug when similar polls show his chances of reelection as being so optimistic. Its hard to believe that a newly minted president could screw up so much, so fast, and so badly after just a year.
And when he says this is the "people's victory," I'm left wondering what he qualifies as a person? Liberals? They're really the only ones happy with this, and I thought we agreed a long time ago they don't count because they're actually from another planet.
Also, this notion that the GOP needs to "move on" is an amazing statement coming from the party that is still counting chads in Florida 10 years later.
What if the anti-prohibition movement "moved on" after alcohol became illegal under the U.S. Constitution in the 1920's? I don't know answer, but I'm pretty sure we know what Ted Kennedy's life's work would've ended up being about.Add a comment

I already had this in a previous blog post, but I really like it and wanted to share again, because when ObamaCare bankrupts the country there wont be any room for "I told you so," as we'll be crammed up to our ears in debt...
As a result the only way we'll be able to reduce the cost of ObamaCare is to reduce our use of it. A great way to reduce the use is to force people to live healthier lifestyles.....and 'Lil TeaBagger is ready to lead the way on that front!

Unlike the experience of liberals hearing the name Barack Obama for first time, I don't remember the exact day or time I knew for a fact that God exists, but I remember how I got to that point.
Before that moment I was very liberal on the matter of religion and morality in general. I thought that all religions in general could and did bring about positive influence in the lives of people. I also thought that as long as you are a good person you were bound for whatever heaven was supposed to be. Whatever good meant to me back then I'll never be able to actually tell you, but it was probably as ambiguous as the meaning of "pro-life" is to a Democrat.
It was 2004, I was in college, it was my final year before entering the "real" world. I was heavily involved with my school's College Republican chapter and I wrote op ed's for the school paper (as far as I knew I was literally the lone conservative voice in the entire campus media, and it was at one of the largest universities in my state).
One night I was driving in my car and I started thinking about of my efforts in being a part of the fight for the Republican party. The Democrats were having their primaries and I was wondering if we could succeed in getting President Bush reelected, which then lead me to start thinking about how electoral fortunes come and go for both parties.
Then......like a woman who watches The View to gain IQ points...what should have been so obvious to begin with dawned on me.....
Nothing we do can last forever. The results of elections have shelf lives, and with little exception the legacy of campaigns don't tend to last after they've been gone for a generation or so.
Then I started to realize the same was true of life in general, more precisely this life.
When we die we live on in the people who knew us directly, after this we usually become a distant memory to the people who knew them, beyond that any influence we held in this life is all but forgotten.
I couldn't help but think what the point of it all was if nothing we do lives very far beyond our time on Earth. I realized at that point that we aren't living for this life. We are working toward the next life, our real and eternal life.
To make a long story short, I not only realized that without question God exists, but over the last few years I began to really understand that we are made for His glory.
What happened on that Sunday night, March 21, 2010 is a shining example of all of this. The work of Ronald Reagan and his legacy came to a close. It is very depressing.
Remembering the fact that God, not man, is in control of all things is quite literally the only thing that helps me cope with nights like this, which as The Drudge Report put it, is "a day that will live in INFIRMARY."
We also need to accept this defeat as something that must happen in accordance with His plan. I prayed as millions have prayed that this wouldn't pass. He didn't answer that prayer and while I don't like it I know there is a reason.
Just because He didn't intercede now doesn't mean he wont later. Its entirely possible that this defeat is meant to strengthen our resolve to fight even harder to preserve this Christian nation and take the principals that ushered in the Reagan Revolution to establish a new legacy, one that God-fearing leaders like Reagan could be proud of.
Millions acted against Obamacare in the form of protests, now its time to take action against the ENTIRE government we currently have by acting in the form of organizing, donating, calling, knocking on doors, and most of all using the new media to beat back this president and his lapdogs in congress at their own game.
I know I'm in.
Throughout all of this we need leaders worthy and willing to serve Him above their lust for a place of power in this country to emerge. We the people will need to support them when they are right, and check them when they are wrong.
In doing all of this we MUST continue to pray to God that He will be the wind at our backs...its the only way we will find success in any of this.
I didn't see any fat ladies singing in Congress during that vote...did you?Add a comment
We are at what is probably the most significant of crossroads this country has seen in my lifetime. No matter what happens the Democrats face a can of whoop-ass in November. Either health care fails and Republicans make significant gains, or it passes and Obama gets to spend the remainder of his only term in office dealing with a Republican Congress.
BUT....no matter what happens remember this.....the really bad news is Joe Biden will still be the Vice President.
From "gator aide" and the "cornhusker kickback" to ousting congressman Eric Massa, the brazen, in broad daylight, deal making, arm twisting and flat-out bribery taking place by President Obama (for example as if you needed another) should be a national scandal.
Well, GQ and Rielle Hunter apparently don't make the scandal cut so why should this?
Really though happened to the smoke-filled back room deals done in secret?
..............HELLO!?! Is this mic on?
ROOMS...filled with SMOKE....wouldn't you think THAT would put Obama in his element to make deals?
Its almost as if our president is really just some bad James Bond villain who just can help himself but to tell us the details his evil master plan. It really is too bad the GOP is less like 007 and more like Inspector Clouseau.
Obama may be crazy but he's right when he asks where the Republicans have been on this issue. In the 12 years they had power they could have prevented this fight by pushing reforms in the marketplace...instead the system spiraled out of control and now we have a political party using the chaos as an excuse to make the biggest grab for power maybe ever.
The fact that the GOP wins because the measure is so unpopular has more to do with dumb luck than some sort of ideological or political victory...I'll take it where I can get it, but this is not a proper foundation for the successful comeback of a political party.
The worst part about it all is that as of this writing health care "deform" may happen without an actual vote taking place. If this "deem and pass" trick Pelosi is trying to pull was even a slightly more legitimate move than John Edwards's and Rielle Hunter's kid then why spend all this time hunting for votes and talking about having them (which they clearly don't have if they need to resort to this).
I know I've said it before and its worth repeating...for eight years this country endured the most ridiculous of notions that George W. Bush wanted to establish himself as dictator-in-chief after some catastrophe he created so he could impose martial law before the '08 election and not have to step aside.
This line of thinking is known as being "intellectual" in social circles that include that guy from "I am Sam" trying to act like some normal dude named Sean Penn when he's not on the set of some crappy Oscar nominated movie that nobody watches. These are the types of people in charge right now!
The point of all this being...what a difference just under two years makes! The left's cries of a Bush dictatorship were not for concern over the country, they were made out of jealousy.
If liberals enjoyed this level of support for opposition to the Iraq war, both in public opinion and Congress, they would've declared the execution of the war the death of American democracy. So lets not pretend this BS is the voice of the people being heard. If everything in Washington DC continues at this rate and Obama is reelected in 2012 someone better find out who got Iran's Ahmadinejad to advise him on how to pull it off.Add a comment

I am an emotional mess. Not a physical response. My head is messed up. I've been following information related to a vegan diet since 1972. For 12 years I was a vegetarian, for one of those a vegan. I struggled socially, being asked more questions than I was equipped to answer. Then I got pregnant and gave into the social pressure to drink milk. Since then I gradually slipped to the point of being what Dr. Furhman calls a "philosophical nutriarian" What happens to me is that I can't deal with the social issues around the diet... trying to explain what I eat, keeping my mouth shut while all those I love poison themselves, ridicule, uncertainty. I do make meals for others, shop for others, share meals with others. I've phased out almost all animal products from my diet over the last 6 months, certainly less than 5%. I have no desire to eat animal products. I haven't yet lost belly fat so although I feel great physically, I get a lot of skepticism. I gave a very nearly (vegan main course with some cheese in the appetizer) vegan baby shower for my daughter and a vegan birthday party for my brother. I'm experimenting with all kinds of recipes... soups, desserts, bean dishes, salads, snacks... My food is good but I still get the where's-the-beef question. How do I cope emotionally?
espeaks, quite frankly, why do other's opinion about what you choose to eat matter so much? If they choose to eat a SAD diet, let them. That doesn't mean you have to. As long as you're not belittling their food choices, they have no right to say anything negative about yours. You are strong enough to do what you know is right for you, and don't let anyone get in your way!
I use exercise and meditation to cope with life's struggles. As far getting upset over what my love ones eat, I can only pray and set a good example. If they see me struggling with my diet then there would be no chance they will ever switch, but if they see me happy and healthy and enjoying life, then maybe I can make a difference.
This can be a common concern depending on a multitude of factors including geographical location (some places make it harder than others) and social/familial support. Dealing with social pressures is always difficult but certainly not impossible! If people didn't go against the grain then nothing would ever get better.
Easier said than done, but go with confidence knowing you are making a choice that benefits your health and well being. You should never feel bad about that. Even those who make it difficult for you will see that your decision is improving your life - that's a great message and will hopefully be contagious on some level.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
I completely understand what you mean; I've had people look at me like I had horns growing out of my head when they found out I didn't eat meat (and that was before I was a vegan!) I came across a book called "Living Among Meat Eaters", I don't have the book with me and don't remember the name of the author but it was a very helpful book. I think one of the hardest things is when someone starts a debate with you over your diet, when you didn't even bring it up! So frustrating! Check out "Living Among Meat Eaters", and just remember that if someone wants to argue with you about something that's none of their business in the first place, that's THEIR problem, not yours!
