Restore the Delta asks agribusiness Astroturf group: 'Who's funding you?'
by Dan Bacher
Restore the Delta (RTD) on October 17 responded to an attack by the "Coalition for a Sustainable Delta," an agribusiness "Astroturf" group they said is bankrolled by billionaire Stewart Resnick, the owner of the giant Paramount Farms in Kern County.
RTD, a coalition of farmers, fishermen, environmentalists and business owners dedicated to a fair water policy in California, dismissed "Coalition" claims accusing Restore the Delta of being a front group for Delta developers out to pave over the Delta for profits.
"Our books are open; Who's funding you?" RTD challenged the "Coalition for a Sustainable Delta."
The "Coalition" made the claims in its October "Delta Watch newsletter, in an article entitled, "'Restore the Delta' donors look to profit from status quo." (http://www.sustainabledelta.com/pdf/DeltaWatch2012-10.pdf)
The newsletter states, "Those that oppose California's efforts to protect the Delta ecosystem and improve the reliability of the state's water supply through the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) have organized into a group calling themselves 'Restore the Delta,' whose name implies a desire to fix the ailing estuary. A Sacramento Bee article profiled the group and, in doing so, may have shed some much needed light on the real purpose of this advocacy group."
"They may be waving the flag of environmental stewardship, but there are big green dollar signs hiding behind that façade. Successful restoration of the Delta through protection of habitat conflicts with the financial interests of the group's richest donors, who also happen to be at the top of the list of people who would pave the Delta over for profits," the Coalition stated.
Billionaire's group blasts RTD for receiving contributions from Delta businesses
In reply, Restore the Delta's Executive Director Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla said, "It's really ironic that a coalition being bankrolled by Beverly Hills billionaire Stewart Resnick is criticizing us for accepting contributions from people with business interests in the Delta region. We do accept support from all those who want to restore the Delta. We have been transparent about doing so. This includes business owners, including developers, along with contributions from thousands of others who care about the health of the Delta region."
The Coalition, a proponent of unsustainable water exports that have led to the death of record millions of Sacramento splittail, chinook salmon, striped bass, steelhead and other species in the state and federal Delta pumping facilities in recent years, criticizes RTD for accepting financial support from "local real estate moguls Alex Spanos and Fritz Grupe, and landowner Dino Cortopassi."
"While the group maintains an image of being a representative of Delta family farmers and ordinary citizens, a large chunk of funding for its activities (including a recent film featuring narration by Ed Begley Jr.) is financed by local real estate moguls Alex Spanos and Fritz Grupe, and landowner Dino Cortopassi," the newsletter claimed.
Barrigan-Parrilla responded, "in the entire six years Restore the Delta has been in existence, the organization has received less than 10% percent of its total funding from these donors. The rest has come from members, including farmers, fishermen, small business people, and all those concerned about the region's environment, as well as from the Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment.
"RTD has produced a documentary film, put on pig roasts, Delta food & wine events, and engaged in the hard work of raising funds from the community the way almost all nonprofits must do. I'm not aware of any such events put on by our critics. Where do they get their funding without having to raise it from the community?" said Barrigan-Parrilla.
"Our books are open," said Barrigan-Parrilla. "We'd be interested in knowing exactly who is funding the Coalition for a Sustainable Delta."
Coalition only interested in exporting Delta water
Restore the Delta Policy Analyst Jane Wagner-Tyack, said, "The Coalition for a Sustainable Delta is interested only in sustaining high levels of water exports used to grow permanent crops on arid land or to support housing and commercial development in what is essentially desert. Resnick's Paramount Farms controls the Kern Water Bank where a lot of Delta water ends up. These people don't care what happens to the Delta as long as they can keep getting as much water as they want."
RTD said the Bay Delta Conservation Plan to build the peripheral tunnels touted by the Coalition for a Sustainable Delta calls for "habitat restoration" in the Delta, but has so far been unable to explain how threatened species can be protected if less fresh water is flowing through the Delta, according to RTD.
Bill Jennings, Executive Director of the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, stated, "The group criticizing RTD is one that focuses on factors such as urban runoff and striped bass predation as the causes of habitat decline in the Delta, ignoring the impact of excessive water diversions and of fish kills at the export pumps. Delta water quality is important to us all, but we can't improve water quality by reducing flows of fresh water through the Delta and the estuary."
Under political pressure from agribusiness, record water exports took place in the Delta under the Schwarzenegger and Brown administrations. Brown presided over record water exports out of the Delta pumps in 2011, surpassing even the Schwarzenegger administration in diverting massive quantities of Delta water to corporate agribusiness. The massive diversions resulted in the "salvage" of over 11 million fish, including a record 9 million native Sacramento splittail. (http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/05/07/carnage-in-the-pumps)
Restore the Delta said it promotes a plan that "would strengthen existing Delta levees to benefit both Delta communities and export reliability while continuing to route fresh water through the Delta for users in other parts of the state."
The organization advocates a return to a system in which only surplus water is available for export, as required by law. "This goal is achievable with increased reliance on local water supplies, water conservation, and retirement of toxic land in the San Joaquin Valley that is not suitable for farming," RTD stated.
The Coalition for a Sustainable Delta hasn't yet responded to my request for the sources of their funding. I will publish their response if and when I receive it.

Resnick reaps big profits at public's expense
Stewart Resnick, the man behind the Coalition, is notorious for buying subsidized Delta water and then selling it back to the public for a tidy profit, as revealed in an article by Mike Taugher in the Contra Costa Times on May 23, 2009. (http://www.revivethesanjoaquin.org/content/pumping-water-and-cash-delta)
"As the West Coast's largest estuary plunged to the brink of collapse from 2000 to 2007, state water officials pumped unprecedented amounts of water out of the Delta only to effectively buy some of it back at taxpayer expense for a failed environmental protection plan, a MediaNews investigation has found," said Taugher.
Taugher said the "environmental water account" set up in 2000 to "improve" the Delta ecosystem spent nearly $200 million mostly to benefit water users while also creating a "cash stream for private landowners and water agencies in the Bakersfield area."
"No one appears to have benefitted more than companies owned or controlled by Stewart Resnick, a Beverly Hills billionaire, philanthropist and major political donor whose companies, including Paramount Farms, own more than 115,000 acres in Kern County," Taugher stated. "Resnick's water and farm companies collected about 20 cents of every dollar spent by the program."
In the same piece, Taugher exposed the Coalition for a Sustainable Delta's role as an Astroturf group for Resnick's Paramount Farms.
"The Coalition for a Sustainable Delta's phone number is the same as Paramount Farms, and of the four coalition officers listed on tax documents, three are Resnick employees: William Phillimore, chief financial officer and executive vice president for Westside Mutual and Paramount Farming; Scott Hamilton, resource planning manager for Paramount Farming; and Craig B. Cooper, chief legal officer for Roll International, Resnick's holding company," noted Taugher.

Background on peripheral tunnels:
The attack on Restore the Delta by a corporate agribusiness Astroturf group takes place as the state and federal governments are fast-tracking the Bay-Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) to build the peripheral tunnels to export more northern California water to corporate agribusiness interests and Southern California water agencies.
On July 25, Governor Jerry Brown and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar held a press conference in Sacramento announcing their decision to move ahead with the construction of the peripheral tunnels, a decision protested by fishermen, environmentalists, members of the Winnemem Wintu, Pit River, Hoopa Valley and other Tribes, family farmers and elected officials in a rally at the State Capitol after the press conference.
Brown announced that the EIR/EIS for the peripheral tunnel/canal plan would be released "this fall," probably September. However, the tentative release date was rescheduled to October and now is looking like it will be on December 20, just in time for the holidays.
The peripheral canal/tunnel will hasten the extinction of Central Valley salmon, Delta and longfin smelt and other fish species, according to federal, state and independent scientists.

seams like your drivers aren't loaded into memory. What is your wifi card?
try doing a lsmod and lsusb (or lspci depentind if u use a usb or regular wifi adapter)
Hello guys. I'm a complete newbie to backtrack. and I'm now posted in BackTrack 5 Beginners Section, and hope to get some expert suggestion.
Here's the problem. I typed airmon-ng, and no response.
Looking forward for expert's suggestions.
seams like your drivers aren't loaded into memory. What is your wifi card?
try doing a lsmod and lsusb (or lspci depentind if u use a usb or regular wifi adapter)
dude type me plain English please. It seems to be so complicated. woots. yea im using a regular wifi adapter. what's with the lsmod and lsusb? Mind explain? thanks ya.
Dudeman02379 is right you may want to start off just a touch slower like with Ubuntu, by telling taxyst to speak plain english when he is speaking plain english probably won't get you much help, there are tons of how to's for that program that can be found with google search that will explain how to set up your drivers.
hey i had the same problem w/ a internal card on my other laptop.... try airmon-zc instead of -ng its still in dev i think but it picked up my internal card only thing is it didnt support packet injection due to the card not being able to.... hope this helps
Or you can try making sure you card is supported by backtrack. Check the Wiki's and hardware compatibility list to make sure. And if youre in vmware, make sure you use a usb card. Also, what does 'iwconfig' return? if it shows your wifi card run airmon-ng start [card] anyway.
since we don't have access to your computer it would help us to know a little bit about your system, the commands I suggested are used just for that:
- lsmod - list all loaded modules (drivers)
- lspci - list all PCI devices
you open a terminal and type the following
then you copy/paste the output in this thread so we can see what the problem is, also you may want to try:Code:root@bt:~# lspci root@bt:~# lsmod
if the second command doesn't report anything then you probably solved your problem and try running arimon again, if it does ... paste the output of both commands here so we can all seeCode:root@bt:~# iwconfig root@bt:~# iwconfig wlan0 up
you can learn ubuntu just as neatly on bt as on ubuntu,kubuntu, etc now. it's very minor differences in the learning curve, only in terms of the operating system, kernel, and similar subjects. why send anyone back to an ubuntu release, just to do alot of work...knowing full well they will probably never figure out even penetration testing fundamentals? it is a waste of your and their time. let them dive in the deep end of the pool and figure out they don't know how to swim.

*' to '
.*?' rather than just '
Apparently this inconsistency doesn't come up in other languages because they don't allow overloading a single "object" with both hash and array behavior, so it's always unambiguous which behavior is meant. Perl allows that kind of overloading at the price of needing different "operators" (e.g. {} and []) for hashes and arrays.]]>
This issue is not about making rules or being PC. It's about saying "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that was offensive to you" and then being a little more careful next time because you value the other person being in your community.]]>
Maybe what's appropriate by the water cooler is not appropriate in a public forum (duh!). Perl's all about context, right? We (the community members) should try to always think about the context and try to respond appropriately and hopefully with some amount of calmness and respect.
On p5p (which I have just started frequenting), I just yesterday sent a personal email to Ricardo Signes thanking him for his calm response to a pretty heated thread. That's impressive and shows some real maturity - a good trait to have in a pumpking.]]>
I applaud your very calm reply to the OP and your linking Schwern's keynote. That was the right way to handle it. There will always be some conflicts/lack of sensitivity/etc in a forum like perlmonks -- if this is as bad as it gets, we're doing pretty good. (Not to say it couldn't be better and we shouldn't try to make it better.)
And when you bring up this topic in other threads, maybe you could let others help with defending that point of view, so you won't feel like a voice in the wilderness. You are not the only one who sees things this way.]]>

Once dependent primarily on its rich agricultural environs, Christchurch expanded in the latter half of the 20th century to become New Zealand's second most important industrial centre, aided by good transportation facilities, adequate supplies of artesian water, and plentiful, inexpensive hydroelectric power. To its traditional meat-freezing works and woolen and agricultural-implement production have been added the manufacture of clothing, carpets, rubber, wood and cork goods, transportation equipment, tires, soap, fertilizers, glass, footwear, and flour.
The city's port is Lyttelton, a natural deepwater anchorage (7 miles [11 km] southeast) to which it is linked by rail and road tunnels through the Port Hills. The port's chief exports include coal, wool, meat, dairy products, and wheat; chief imports are petroleum products, fertilizers, iron, and steel. Christchurch is also served by an international airport and the South Island Main Trunk Railway.
Because much of the city's land is devoted to parks, public gardens, and other recreation areas, Christchurch has earned the nickname "Garden City of the Plains." One of the nation's principal educational centres, it has Lincoln University (1990; originally established in 1878 as a constituent agricultural college of the University of Canterbury), Christ's College, and the University of Canterbury (1873). Other notable institutions are the Anglican cathedral and Roman Catholic procathedral, botanical gardens, planetarium, Canterbury Museum, and Yaldhurst Museum of Transport and Science, as well as several galleries, including the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, Christchurch Art Gallery, and Centre of Contemporary Art.
On Sept. 4, 2010, Christchurch and its surrounding region were struck by a strong earthquake (about magnitude 7) centred approximately 20 miles (30 km) west of the city. Although there were few serious injuries and no fatalities, the quake and its aftershocks (some of them severe) destroyed hundreds of buildings in the city and damaged railways, roads, and other infrastructure. Pop. (2006) 348,435.

LCE's Homebound Elderly Project (aka Project HELP) provides critically important legal assistance and advocacy to some of the most vulnerable seniors living in our community. These older neighbors are unable to play an active role in society because of their homebound status, which results in them becoming "invisible" and, consequently, this all too often leads to situations in which they are taken advantage of because of their decreased mobility and limited support network.
See also: Types of in-home care for the elderly
HELP utilizes a full-time staff attorney, para-professional support and a cadre of pro bono attorneys, private law firms and government organizations to:
- Interview clients at home regarding legal problems
- Draft or review legal documents that seniors may need, such as powers of attorney or wills
- Administer a public-benefit checkup to ensure that they are getting all the benefits to which they are entitled
- Analyze their housing situation concerning any landlord problems or consumer problems or, in the case of homeowners, any problems with home repair, predatory lending or deed fraud
- Ensure proper follow-up on the identified legal problems either directly or via LCE's other program initiatives
We are always looking for volunteers! We have a special need for attorneys and notaries, but anyone can volunteer to serve as a witness when we finalize important documents in seniors' homes.
If you are an attorney licensed in the District of Columbia, please consider taking a case from us pro bono. We have many homebound seniors who need legal assistance. Our staff often gives training presentations on basic estate planning at area law firms. Please let us know if you are interested in hosting a training session.
If you are a notary licensed in the District of Columbia, please consider volunteering to help our clients execute important documents. Periodically, we send emails to our volunteer notaries asking if they can meet us at certain times and places to notarize documents for our homebound clients. Please send us your email address, and we will add you to our list.
One Case Among Many
Project HELP assisted an 86-year-old widow and longtime D.C. resident with a complex set of issues in a case that lasted several months. The elderly woman was living in squalid conditions in an apartment in Ward 7. The landlord had started needed repairs to her apartment months beforehand, but never completed them. Large black garbage bags covered the areas where the walls and ceiling had been removed, the floor was covered in construction dust and debris, the windows were broken, and the apartment was infested with roaches and rodents. The sub-par electrical wiring prevented her from using her oxygen machine unless the lights and television were shut off. Moreover, there was no heat or hot water.
Upon meeting with and speaking to this very kind, elderly woman, it became clear she was no longer mentally competent. To further complicate matters, the power of attorney that she had signed in favor of her son was discovered to be invalid under D.C. law. Thus, we filed a petition for her son to be appointed as her emergency guardian. Once the emergency guardianship was granted, we filed a Temporary Restraining Order, a Preliminary Injunction, and a Complaint in the Housing Conditions Court. After the emergency guardianship expired, we also successfully pursued his appointment as her general guardian.
Through our negotiations, the landlord agreed to make the necessary repairs. But when this did not happen in a timely manner, we negotiated for a new apartment, also owned by the same landlord, paying the same amount of rent but in a much nicer building.

US operator AT&T is responding to Google's entry into the high-speed broadband market by promising to launch its own ultra-fast offer in Austin, Texas – where the internet giant plans to switch on a 1Gbps service in mid-2014.
The operator this week said it had begun work on the deployment of a network in Austin that would match Google's (Mountain View, CA, USA) on connection speeds when finally developed.
AT&T (Dallas, TX, USA) plans to start selling a 300Mbps service in Austin from December this year, but claims the technology will be improved to support 1Gbps downloads by mid-2014 – fast enough to download an entire high-definition movie in less than two minutes.
Reports indicate the December service alone would be about seven times as fast as AT&T's current highest-speed offering.
The operator is calling the service U-verse with GigaPower and says it will reach tens of thousands of customer locations throughout Austin and the surrounding area this year.
Investments in the network are to form part of AT&T's Project Velocity plan, which will see the operator spend a total of $21 billion in upgrading fixed and mobile networks this year, and another $20 billion in each of 2014 and 2015.
It says details of pricing for U-verse with GigaPower will be made available nearer to the launch date.
Representatives of Austin have welcomed the announcement, saying the investments will boost the city's efforts to attract businesses.
"Jump-starting the actual construction of GigaPower will add another reason for people to want to do business and innovate in Austin and call Austin home," said Mike Rollins, president of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce.
The move by AT&T is clearly a response to Google's April announcement that it would introduce 1Gbps services to Austin next year.
The internet player has already launched its Fiber-branded service in Kansas City and aims to launch it in Provo, Utah by the end of the year before turning its attention to Austin.
The Kansas City launch was originally conceived as a trial to see what kinds of web services a 1Gbps connection would make possible, but the company has since appeared keen to establish itself as a rival to the country's broadband providers in a select number of markets.

When a flight attendant offered him a cup of coffee, he allegedly threw it in her face. He was then restrained and handcuffed with plastic ties.
Mr Touretski was not served alcohol on the flight, but Qantas staff said they found an empty bottle of duty-free whisky in his bag.
The AIS, frustrated by previous in-flight incidents, has suspended the former Russian coach from flying and is considering further action. Mr Touretski has a "last chance" clause in his contract and the ASC may deem his behaviour a final breach.
ASC chief executive Mark Peters confirmed yesterday that allegations had been made. "As a result of this and other recent incidents, consideration will be given by officers of the ASC and the AIS of the conditions of the coach's contractual relationship with the AIS," he said.
Yesterday Mr Touretski was at his Canberra home, where his wife said he had nothing to say.

Replaced CCV... exhaust pumping out white smoke
TL;DR summary:
1) billowing white smoke from exhaust on cold start on a freezing day (it's not steam... smells burnt rubbery)
2) replaced ccv+hoses with insulated ccv kit
3) test started after the fix and still blows white smoke (I did not drive it, I shut off immediately)
4) Q: is it safe to keep the car running to burn off whatever oil is remaining if I check up on the oil/coolant levels now and then?
----- long version -----
My car rarely gets driven, and for relatively short distances.
Coupled with the freezing weather here recently, I expected car problems (saw some mayo under the oil cap when I did oil changes). Last weekend, my car was parked in the freezing temperature for a full day and a half. When I started the car it started pumping out thick white smoke out of the left exhaust. It smelled almost like faintly burnt rubber... It was gushing out so much it even started seeping into the cabin. I should note the smoke was NOT coming out under the hood, but through the back of the car.
I quickly shutdown the car (within 5 minutes), started googling, and decided to replace the ccv and all the related hoses (I bought the entire insulated ccv repair kit).
After painfully spending two days in the cold replacing the ccv (thank you forum+youtube), I started the car and it's still blowing the same smoke from the exhaust. I shut it off within 5 minutes.
My question is, can I assume for now that this could just be left over oil from the previous fiasco and it will be burnt off in due time? If so how long should I wait before assuming it's a different problem?
Oil and coolant levels were fine before the replacement, and they appear unchanged after 5 minutes of test start..., but again, I shut it down pretty quickly fearing I would harm something.
Can I just leave the car running parked to see if I can burn the rest of whatever seeped in while I monitor the oil and coolant levels? Or is that a bad idea...?
I read on another thread I can remove the spark plugs and turn the engine over to get rid of excess oil? The thing is, the oil level on the dipstick is still almost full so i can't imagine a ton of oil was lost. FYI, the car was in a parked state the whole time.
P.S. I read burnt oil should be blue smoke and burnt coolant is white, but I'm getting mixed messages on that... some verified ccv problems caused white smoke. Also the smoke smells pretty bad... I don't smell anything sweet
If you guys need a video for further diagnosis I can probably take one, but it's pretty simple --- just a constant thick white smoke

Does it seem to run ok? I would monitor levels and let it run...probably. Tough to give advice on this without being there to see it.

Water can accumulate in the exhaust system if you only take short drives.
Are you sure it's not steam?
Correct - oil burning is blue, coolant white smoke and excessive fuel burning would be black.
Let it run and see what happens, keep an eye on coolant temperature.

Yeah, it starts without a hiccup and sounds perfectly normal, but for obvious reasons I don't want to drive it off the driveway --- the smoke is that thick and continuous. I'm pretty sure it's not steam... I've seen bit of steam out of exhaust before on cold days, but this is nothing like that... it's super cloudy, super fast and continuous stream that lingers in the air for quite a while, and smells pretty bad.
Guess I will start her up again in the morning...
(i've never used it myself, but i've seen some seafoam videos on youtube... the smoke basically looks like that)

Yeah, sounds like oil in the cylinders. I'd keep a close eye on it for a while, then go for a long drive to burn everything off.
Edit: Obviously, if it doesn't improve after 10-15 mins or gets worse, turn it off and reassess.

I would check coolant & oil levels, bring up engine coolant temp on OBC menu, see 3rd link in my signature.
If your CCV pulled oil into the intake/engine/exhaust, it does take a while for it all to burn off.
You will likely need to drive for 10-20 miles to really warm up the engine and make sure all residue is burned off.
Also did you remove your dipstick tube and clean out the double walled bottom of the dipstick tube?

I should note that after about 30 minutes of driving around the neighborhood, the smoke has died out substantially. It looks mostly like faint steam now, and dissipates rather quickly around the exhaust instead of filling up the area 6 feet high with a thick fog... there's still a hint of burnt oil smell but I'm hoping that will go away as I drive more.
It felt as if I exerted any more force something will break so I inserted a hose and blew on it, not sure if that did anything lol...
edit: I just wanted to update (for future reference) that car's been perfect with no smoke/smell for past few weeks after some decent highway driving. 100% back to normal.

Associations between

A consistent change in level of zinc in the blood of children infected with
This intestinal parasite causes a generally self-limited clinical illness characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, weight loss, and malabsorption. However, asymptomatic giardiasis with high reinfection rates occurs frequently, especially in developing countries for reasons that remain obscure [
Mild to moderate Zn deficiency is now known to occur among children and adults of many countries and is thought to be an important public health problem; its global prevalence was estimated to be 31% in 2004, whereas rates ranged from 4% up to 73% in developing countries [
Moderate zinc deficiency and giardiasis have a strikingly similar geographical distribution and the same people may be experiencing both insults together for a considerable time of their lives. Interestingly, no studies have examined the effects of different dietary zinc levels on the parasite-infected host. Because the immune response elicited to infectious agents normally includes many redundancies, the ultimate consequence of zinc deficiency or supplementation in controlling infection needs to be established in an infected host. Based on all these considerations, the aims of this study were to elucidate whether giardiasis remains a risk factor for zinc deficiency regardless of the level of dietary intake, how this would affect growth performance, and the way the immune system responds to this parasite and shapes the eventual adaptive response according to the dietary zinc level.

Let the new age of enlightenment begin. Ohh do we have something totally weird for you to end your week with. Magnet has unveiled the first official trailer via Apple for a strange, mysterious, trippy indie science fiction film called Beyond The Black Rainbow, written and directed by Panos Cosmatos. Deep within the mysterious Arboria Institute, a disturbed and beautiful girl is held captive by a doctor in search of inner peace. Her mind controlled by a sinister technology. The cast includes Eva Allan, Michael Rogers and Scott Hylands. This looks insane, yet potentially brilliant like Cube, I need to see it. Give it a shot below.
Watch the official trailer for Panos Cosmatos' Beyond The Black Rainbow via Apple:
You can also download the Beyond The Black Rainbow trailer in High Def over on Apple
Set in the strange and oppressive emotional landscape of the year 1983, Black Rainbow is a Reagan-era fever dream inspired by hazy childhood memories of midnight movies and Saturday morning cartoons.
Beyond The Black Rainbow is written and directed by up-and-coming Canadian filmmaker Panos Cosmatos, making his feature debut. Produced and filmed in Vancouver, this premiered at the 2010 Whistler Film Festival and also showed at several film festivals throughout 2011, including Tribeca in New York, Fantasia in Montreal and Fantastic Fest in Austin. Magnet Releasing will be bringing Beyond The Black Rainbow to theaters but hasn't setup the official release date yet. For more, visit their official website or Facebook page.

Soon Henry was immersed not only in the Life of Gallatin but in a much larger scheme to record the early history of the United States, embracing both the Jefferson and Madison presidencies, a project that would take five years to complete and would result in the nine volume History of the United States During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, a work that would offer unprecedented insight into the formative years of the American experiment as a Democracy and revolutionize the way history is approached and presented.
Ordinarily Henry would write through the day then He and Clover would ride horses in the afternoon. It seems incredible now but, though they lived within site of the White House—they lived on H St. facing Lafayette Square—they were able to ride horses all around Washington and even down into Virginia. In the evenings they entertained. "A wide array of writers and artists, politicians and dignitaries, doctors and academics made their way to the Adamses' salon for food and talk." Presidents made their appearances along with statesmen and visiting dignitaries (Jerome Bonaparte, great nephew of Napoleon I and Aristarchi Bey, the Turkish minister), Cabinet members (Carl Schurz, Secretary of the Interior and John Hay, former secretary to Lincoln and future Secretary of State under Theodore Roosevelt), ex-Civil War leaders from both sides of the conflict (including General William Tecumseh Sherman, General Philip Sheridan, and James Lowndes, former Confederate Colonel), and, when he was in the country, Clover's good friend Henry James.
In spite of these diversions, Clover found herself at a loss for what to do. She often assisted Henry in his research especially during a trip to Europe where the couple, taking advantage of their fluency in languages, visited archives in England, France, and Spain (they also both spoke German). But Henry's increased absorption in his History and the two novels he wrote during this period meant that Daisy was back in the "shadow between eagerness and uneasy boredom." One escape for her was through photography.
Photography in the United States…was by no means new at the time of the Civil War; the basic process was announced to the world in 1839. An entire generation of Americans had grown to adulthood without the vaguest recollection of a time when the photograph was not a household item.
Photography was more than a hobby for Clover; it became an outlet for her creativity. Photography elevated her from being a mere spectator of the vibrant intellectual and artistic worlds in first Boston and then Washington, into an active participant. . Henry Adams had noted her "intellectual grace." "She was a superb writer, but her marriage had room for only one author."
Photography was a wholly different activity, more active and more social. And it drew on Clover's natural abilities: her keen eye, her acute powers of observation, and her attuned sense of an individual's personality. Also, something surfaced in her photography that was not readily apparent in her witty, sometimes barbed letters…: a richness and subtlety of feeling.
Most of Clover's photographs are portraits. She photographed neighbors, friends, family members, even her pets. There are some landscape portraits, too.
Clover's technical skill increased and at the same time her confidence grew. One photograph taken of the Adamses' neighbor, the eminent historian George Bancroft was much admired by John Hay, a close friend. Hay recommended the photo to George Gilder, editor of the Century magazine, "urging him to get a copy of it to put on the cover of the magazine."
Mrs. Adams has made a remarkable photograph of George Bancroft in his study. He is now eighty-three, and one of these days will be gone.
Gilder agreed and sent a letter to Henry Adams asking if he would contribute an essay to accompany the photo. Henry refused and Clover missed an opportunity to have her work put forth before a much wider audience. Henry's reason for refusing this simple request is uncertain. What is certain is that in refusing he was also sending a message to his wife that her work was not to be taken seriously. Beneath this was a combination of Henry's strict aversion to publicity and his conventionality. He also had a curious ambivalence to women's rights which expressed itself in a quasi-Teutonic mythology. His only public lecture presented in 1876 at Boston's Lowell Institute was on "The Primitive Rights of Women." These rights were based not so much on equality with men, but "by virtue of their fecundity and motherhood."
Equality was based not on what was shared but on profound differences, and could be achieved only by affirming a woman's essential nature and her role within a separate domestic sphere.
