Last minute tips for parents when the SHTF
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
When I was twelve, I read a science fiction story, probably by Issac Asimov, I can't recall the author. In the story, a man has a modern combustion vehicle (a car) and is trying to sell it to a tribe that is pretty self-sufficient. The man is frustrated because the tribe elders seem reticent to trade for it. He can't understand why since it will go faster, it is stronger, and it protects the driver versus their horses. They say, "What does it eat, and how do you breed it, and how do you heal it?" He shrugs sheepishly. I think this is the primary issue that we'll have in a SHTF scenario when our modern reliance on creating specialists butts up against the lack of sustainable technology.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Luddite. I enjoy being warm at night in Winter and not having to stoke the wood stove (well not too warm, I'm a guy and being a little cold helps me sleep better), opening the 'fridge to grab a cold one and not having to brew it, eating a ready made bratwurst and not having to butcher an animal and make a sausage from scratch, etc. Both ways are good: the old pioneer skills and the technology to make life easier.
Living in a world post-SHTF will be unique. Once things settle down, it will be a both/and world of using the knowledge that we have, but trying to live in sustainable ways in order to harvest materials locally and using all of the tribal lore that enabled people to migrate to America.
We hold some freedoms very dear, and the Patriots who deliberately wrote about them and formed them were geniuses. The covenants between a federal, state, and local government that protected the people but limited the power of the government at the will of the People were amazing living documents. While capitalism is flawed, as any man-made economic system will always be, no good alternative has consistently worked because people are basically more interested in themselves and their families and then the community. That means post-SHTF capitalism, and a nation of people who can provide products and sell them for individual gain, will always return. Someone will always want a bigger house, a better horse, more variety of food, more stylish clothing, etc.
But... we can't keep living the way that we've tried before. Shipping goods from far away lands and paying people smaller wages so that we can have more things at the expense of "other" people is just not sustainable. Eventually all people want better lives. While they may accept smaller wages for a time due to their governments (really totalitarian regimes) and do without specialized goods, eventually unless we can get lower species to make our things, then we'll not be able to find worker-bees to do our bidding. Try getting monkeys to make your cars, electronics, and shiny toys.
This type of system is based upon an idea that whatever we have is superior to whatever they have. In other words, whatever we can produce has a higher trade value that whatever they can produce. It's that old medieval paradigm of the large city of the King (and his specialists) who protects all of the little villages of generalists, the earlier analogy that I offered from history made large. In those days, the medieval knights were the ones who protected the people, but only separated by the distance of a ship ride or the journey of a travel by horse. These days it's the idea that American soldiers can protect the world from the enemies of capitalism, in exchange for Hollywood and Wall Street. That won't suffice. The world doesn't buy it anymore. We've worked ourselves out of a job. We don't produce things like we used to, quality goods that were made strong, produced efficiently, with the supply chains that could transport ready made goods and replacement parts.
As the Cold War came to a close, different nations wanting to spend more money on infrastructure and their people, and less money on soldiers and military hardware. They decided that they could trade goods between nations, and make money as a result of specialized labor that used the products of their friends and enemies. They had to. It was unsustainable to have enormous military costs since the risk of danger was always rather small. The more powerful the weapon, the less of a chance to use it due to its destructive capacity.
As time progressed, since labor was cheaper in developing nations, selfish profiteers relocated factories that produced goods to these nations. Image two swimming pools connected by a pipe. In one pool is an enormous volume of water; in the other pool much less. The water will be pushed by gravity to it's lowest level and eventually it equals out. In a healthy world, the amount of water would be added by rainfall, but no matter what as the worth of a product is more valued, unless there are trade goods of equal value in the other nation, it all equals out. If one nation can no longer produce goods, they run out of money to buy the other nations goods. It comes to a standstill.
In a SHTF scenario, since governments can't borrow more money, and the price of goods is high from demand, but disruptions in the supply chains occur, coupled with people having a lack of money to purchase goods, makes the current economic model to collapse.
Visionaries and government officials have been hoping for some new technology to create new products which be able to produce some better shiny toy or an incredibly valuable tool, but as long as profiteers are willing to move the manufacture of them to a place with lower labor costs, that won't help America. We should look in the mirror for the profiteers. We like to blame the people at the top of the pyramid, but in reality Americans (and I am an American) enjoyed the transfer of wealth by investing in the stock market and higher returns on mutual funds and greater dividends from cheap labor as a result of Asian countries. We are the profiteers. We have to own up to that.
But...when we began to extend credit to keep the market going, and enable home ownership for everyone, plus allowed the creation of derivatives to bet against everyone's success, then we created an unsustainable system and kicked it in the teeth. It's crippled and dying. You can hear the death rattle.
The only way that I can imagine is a miraculous new product. Even then unless someone can figure out a way to distribute it and a reason to manufacture it in the USA, there really is no good rationale for doing so. Imagine living anywhere else but the USA. Wouldn't you want that product to be made in your country? Wouldn't you do your best to have it made locally? That's the healthy response. Bizarrely our politicians for years have been working to send jobs elsewhere. It's common sense not economic protectionism.
When I was very young, and didn't know much, I volunteered to paint an enclosed porch for a church project. They were glad for volunteers. We all set out with our tools and supplies in different directions. I ended up taking on the porch project and set to work alone. Eventually I got toward the end, and it was lunch time. Then I looked up and laughed and laughed. I had begun painting near the doorway and painted toward the corners of the room. Fifteen minutes before lunchtime I realized that in order to get to the door, I needed to step on the painted floor. I had painted myself in. :0
This is exactly what the politicians in Washington have done. We voted and supported them. We did it too. It would be comical if it were not also disastrous.
The only way we can begin to repair the damage to our countries is to learn how to produce goods locally so that all people have an opportunity to own them based upon their ideas of thrift and need for luxury items. It's not economic protectionism; it's common sense. Some countries will have a monopoly on special items. Let's say that one country has rare-earth metals. If you don't have something, then you can either trade for it at a disadvantage, or find something they need, or explore your country for them, or find an alternative to them. It's that simple.
If there is an economic collapse, people who can fix broken items, find alternatives to them, replicate them, will all manage to survive. We could put everyone to work who wants to work to do this. It won't be as cheap as relying upon goods made in other countries, but it will help reduce people having to rely upon government assistance.

REDLANDS >> Pin-Ups for Vets is now taking pre-orders for its 2014 calendar.
Gina Elise, the non-profit's founder and calendar model, shared the news with fans in a blog post on the organization's website, pinupsforvets.com.
In its eighth year, proceeds from calendar sales and other items available online will benefit veterans' hospitals across the country.
The calendars also serve as a morale booster for veterans and those still serving in the United States and across the globe, Elise said Sunday.
"We're really excited to put the calendar together this year," she said, "because it is getting bigger and better every year. And this year it is a really unique, dynamic calendar."
Elise founded Pin-Ups for Vets in Redlands not only to pay tribute to her grandfather, Lou, who served in the Army for four years during World War II, but bring attention to under-funded veterans' health-care programs.
Calendar proceeds benefit programs at veterans' hospitals nationwide, as well as provide additional service to the men and women on active duty, homeless veterans, military spouses and female veterans entering the workplace.
"I think the main reason we continue to do this," Elise said, "is because we're still making an impact, and creating a positive change in the health care of our veterans. And we are shipping tons of care packages to our troops because people do sometimes forget we do have troops deployed."
Joining Elise for the calendar's 2014 edition are Navy veteran Kelli Serio and Army veteran Mylee YC, as well as sportscasters Leeann Tweeden and Bonnie-Jill Laflin.
This will be Laflin's second time with the calendar.
"Pin-Ups for Vets is an organization close to my heart since I come from a military background," Laflin said earlier this year. "Lifting the morale of our troops is the least we can do for those men and women who risk their lives on a daily basis to ensure our safety."
"To put a smile on the faces of hospitalized vets around the world is such a wonderful feeling," she also said. "They are my heroes."
In June, Elise put out a casting call for male veterans who wished to pose with Elise for the calendar in the style of a 1940s pin-up style photo of film star Marlene Dietrich.
Elise picked one member of each military branch to participate, including former sailor PJ Walsh, a comedian who has toured with Larry The Cable Guy, and former Marine turned underwear model Alex Minsky, whose leg was amputated after he survived an explosion while serving in Afghanistan.
Minsky, Elise said, "had a long recovery, but he has defiantly bounced back. He was in the gym and seen by a photographer when he was asked if he had done any modeling. He did a shoot and the images of Alex went viral. He now has 100,000 Facebook followers and fans all over the world.
"He's not afraid to show who he is. He models underwear with his prosthetic on. He's quite a guy, and we're honored to have him as part of the shoot."
The image will be featured during the month of November, Elise said.
Calendars at $15 each can be purchased through the Pin Up for Vets' website.
Additional items such as postcards, posters and bumper stickers are also available.
Because the organization is becoming a phenomenon all on its own, Elise is ready to see what the future holds.
She also hopes to launch the Pin-Ups program in cities across the U.S. and "really train these volunteers how we do what we do, but in their own (neighborhoods). We're really looking to do that soon."
She also hopes to visit every veterans hospital in the country with her crew of volunteers. So far, they are halfway there, she said.

Creative Lab 2012 Workshops / Seminars
2012 Creative Lab Workshops / Seminars
Participants: Leon D. Silverman, Laurin Herr, Thomas A. DeFanti, Ph.D
New avenues of opportunities in production and post production are expanding the tool kit for content creators in film, television and digital media. From collaborations across continents, to audio and video post in real time and digital distribution of product via 4K and HD platforms, new ways for creators to collaborate on are more real than ever before. The teams from Disney Digital Studios and CineGrid – an international collective of universities, software companies and entertainment companies – will share how broadband photonic networks are redefining the workflows in post production, traditional and new media content and distribution and how the doors of opportunity have never been greater.
Participants: George Christopoulos, Richard Bellis
International composer agent George Christopoulos will discuss challenges in today's film industry for artists and their agents; strategies for for working with international markets; the duties of a film composer—from an agent's perspective; when and why to seek an agent in Hollywood and outside U.S.; composer expectations vs. filmmaker demands; how filmmakers approach the use of music in film; and the differences and commonality among composers around the world.
Emmy Award winning composer Richard Bellis will focus on aspects of the film composer's craft, toward understanding the difference between a concert composer and a film composer. This will include synchronizing music with picture, avoiding sonic competition; why film music is not an app; challenges facing today's emerging film composer; the current state of the profession; the roll and importance of performing rights organizations; who gives, who gets and how things work.
MEET THE DIRECTOR with Nate Kohn
MEET THE DIRECTOR is an intimate one-on-one conversation between a special guest director and host Nate Kohn, during which the director will discuss their films, style, voice, philosophy, passions, and approach to filmmaking. This session affords a special opportunity to watch, listen and engage as the director talks about their life's work in their own words. The discussion will be followed by Q & A interaction with the audience.
Participants: Philip Chung, Kevin Wu (aka KevJumba), Chester See, Nikki SooHoo
HIFF's NEW MEDIA ACADEMY is the inaugural event of HIFF's Creative Lab, exploring a new media world that is rapidly expanding and becoming democratized through the advent of low cost and free digital tools and online distribution. DIY media makers (mainly from YouTube, thanks to the YouTube Partner Program and the recent investment into original content for 100 verticals), are monetizing their content, strengthening their branding, creating authentic viewing experiences and, often, direct contact with their fans.
One of these is YOMYOMF Network (acronym for You Offend Me You Offend My Family), launched this summer by Hollywood director Justin Lin (FAST FIVE, BETTER LUCK TOMORROW) and partners Ryan Higa (aka NigaHiga), Kevin Wu (aka KevJumba), Chester See, NBA star Baron Davis, and producer Cash Warren, among others. It skyrocketed to become one of the most popular YouTube channels, constantly among the top 10 and has garnered over 430,000 subscribers and 22 million views to date.
Participants: Renee Haynes, Kalani Queypo, Irene Bedard, Parvesh Cheena
SAG-AFTRA, the nation's largest labor union representing working actors and other media artists, is offering an opportunity to learn about the art and business of being a professional actor. Taught by professional actors and industry experts, THE BUSINESS OF ACTING WORKSHOP, gives an overview of industry practices, guidance and thorough insight into headshots, resumes, reels, representation, audition tapes, multimedia resources, social media tips, audition camera technique and an overview of the industry. Casting director Renee Haynes (TWILIGHT) will join us along with other notable SAG-AFTRA members from film and television, including Kalani Queypo (THE NEW WORLD,) Irene Bedard (SMOKE SIGNALS, POCAHONTAS,) and Parvesh Cheena (OUTSOURCED.)
Participants: Debra Zimmerman
With the democratization of filmmaking through digital media, new filmmakers and citizen documenters are emerging everyday. It is an exciting time to be a filmmaker, especially a woman filmmaker, as the playing field has leveled through egalitarian and DIY production and distribution (YouTube for example). However, traditional models such as public broadcasting and theatrical distribution, are becoming increasingly difficult.
With this dichotomy in indie filmmaking, how can a filmmaker utilize the tools available today to have their project stick out from the rest of the pack? What strategies, such as the use of social media, can be used to increase the female filmmaking voice? What resources are out there to help in terms of financing and support to get your film off the ground? These topics and more will be discussed by a panel of successful women filmmakers from across the nation. This panel will feature special guest and moderator Debra Zimmerman, Executive Director of arts organization WOMEN MAKE MOVIES, and is part of HIFF's celebration of the 40th anniversary of this groundbreaking organization.

The Aston House Stud Charitable Trust enabled us to expose cruelty to animals exported beyond the EU
Aston House Stud funded our 2012 landmark investigation into live animal exports beyond the EU. What we found was shocking. For the first time, our investigators documented lengthy delays for European animals within Turkey as well as overcrowding, hunger, dehydration, injury and death.
Thanks to The Aston House Stud Charitable Trust, the evidence gathered strengthened our call for an end to live exports from the EU and continues to do so.

Is Tanning for you?
Gearing up for a cruise, honeymoon, special event ... or just want to look your best with a beautiful Tan? Then our professional indoor tanning service is for you.

Why Tan Indoors?
When you tan at an indoor tanning salon, your skin produces a tan in the same way it does when you tan outdoors through the absorption of Ultraviolet light.
One of the many benefits of indoor tanning is that it allows you to control the amount of ultraviolet light that you are exposed to, to help avoid a sunburn. At our tanning salon, your tanning session is determined by the equipment manufacturers recommendation as well as our trained staff that take into account your tanning history and your skin type.
Convenience is another consideration when choosing to tan indoors. Outdoor tanning is often limited by season, location and weather. Indoor tanning offers you dependable control, convenience and service!

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon a top business Ultrabook
Billed as a premium 14-inch ultrabook for business users, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon measures just 0.74 inches (18.9mm) thick at its thickest point. According to Lenovo, the X1 Carbon meets and exceeds the specifications laid out for 13-inch ultrabooks and tips the scale at a portable 2.99lbs (1.36kg). This is only slightly heavier than two iPads tablets and lighter than many 13-inch ultrabooks on the market today.
So how does the Lenovo X1 Carbon fare for business? After testing it for about a month in a real-world work environment, here's what you should know.
[ FREE DOWNLOAD: 6 things every IT person should know ]
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Specifications
Despite its billing as an ultrabook, the 14-inch display offers 1600 x 900 resolution. Under the hood, the X1 Carbon is powered by a third-generation Intel Core i5 ultra-mobile processor clocked at 1.8GHz. The ultrabook can accommodate up to 8GB of low-voltage DDR3L RAM, though the review unit only came loaded with 4GB. Storage is in the form of a solid-state drive (SSD) with the option of either 128 GB or 256 GB.
The light weight, slim form factor and performance of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon should turn heads.
On the wireless connectivity front, the X1 Carbon comes with 802.11n for Wi-Fi networking and Bluetooth 4.0. Mobile wireless (wireless wide-area network) capability is offered as an option, and the SIM card tray is cleverly located along the back edge. The location is unobtrusive and is effectively hidden from sight when the screen is opened at an angle of 90 degrees or more.
News: Lenovo Packs 'Thinnest' Thinkpad Ultrabook with 4G LTE
The X1 Carbon has two USB ports (one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0), a Mini DisplayPort port and a combination audio port for both microphone and headphone. A handy 4-in-1 SD card reader is located along the side. This is useful because the ultrabook doesn't come with an internal optical disk drive.
ThinkPad fans will find the familiar red TrackPoint pointer located around the middle of the keyboard, while those who prefer a standard touchpad will find the large glass touchpad with dedicated mouse buttons highly appealing. The touchpad is also clickable, providing a satisfying tactile response, and is multi-touch capable. Finally, a 720p HD webcam is embedded along the top of the display.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon maintains the ThinkPad's signature TrackPoint and its large mouse touchpad.
Using the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
Despite using an ultra-mobile processor, the X1 Carbon ultrabook never felt slow. It performed every standard office productivity task seamlessly and could handle opening of 30 to 40 simultaneous browser tabs without lagging. That would have broken the backs of many older ultra-thin laptops and netbooks. With the help of a Matrox DualHead2Go Digital SE and a Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock, I got it to drive four 1920 x 1080 external monitors without any noticeable slowdown.
Part of its performance can probably be attributed to the fast SSD that came with the X1 Carbon. While my focus was more toward practical business usage than benchmarking, I did find out that the X1 Carbon attained respectable performance figures more in line with an SSD-equipped laptop using CrystalDiskMark disk benchmarking software-430 MBps for read and 270 MBps for write.
Lenovo says the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is really a 14-inch laptop in the form factor of a 13-inch laptop. It fits snugly into a custom-fitted 13-inch laptop case, so the company's claim is accurate here.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon has a 14-inch screen, but it's thin, so it will fit into a bag made for 13-inch laptop.
Impressive performance and form factor aside, I did find some room for improvement in the X1 Carbon. For one, a third USB port would have been useful given the large number of USB peripherals on the market. In addition, the recessed wireless toggle is hard to access; you need fingernails to hit the switch.
Assessing Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Security, Management Features
Unlike most other ultrabooks, the X1 Carbon comes with a number of business-centric hardware. For example, a fingerprint reader is unobtrusively located on the right side of the palm rest. It's within easy reach, but you can't touch it by accident.
Under the hood, security is tempered by the presence of BIOS encryption and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2, while a physical Kensington lock slot on right hand corner helps to secure it against causal or opportunistic theft.
Feature: 8 Hot Ultrabooks to Watch
Another less obvious but important security consideration is the X1 Carbon's support for Intel's third-generation vPro Technology. This feature lets IT technicians remotely take control of a vPro-enabled device to diagnose problems or roll out security patches or lock down the computer if it is lost or stolen.
Is Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Better for Business Users?
The X1 Carbon has a number of positive attributes for business settings. One of them would surely be its matte screen, as opposed to the high-glare prone glossy displays that most PC manufacturers seem to have fallen in love with. Moreover, the capability for the screen to be tilted almost flat is great when collaborating face-to-face in a small team, allowing for points to be quickly illustrated over onscreen charts or graphs.
The rigidity and build of the X1 Carbon chassis is excellent, courtesy of its carbon fiber-reinforced roll cage. While the display portion felt less rigid than earlier ThinkPads, the ruggedness does not appear to be compromised. I was able to lift up the ultrabook by holding along one side of the screen with the lid open; it does, however, flex somewhat alarmingly if you hold onto the extreme corner with just one hand. Overall, the X1 Carbon should up to the rigors of travel and work.

Curatorial Studies
November 2-November 30, 2012
By BLAIR SCHULMAN
Sometimes, the most exciting shows occur by odd couplings in unusual environments that prick up your senses in ways that haven't been activated in some time. Ayla Rexroths' Subterranean Gallery might be one of those spaces and Curatorial Studies might be one of those shows.
Rexroth gave me a preview inside her basement apartment gallery near the Kansas City Art Institute before everything was completed. The work for the most part was hung; but finishing touches were still underway. It was nice to be around the space with notes stuck on walls, levels on the floor and the lighting undecided. What felt the most right was the momentum of these seven artists whom Rexroth had made studio visits to over the course of a few months. This was like another studio encounter and I love being amongst the disarray and frenetic energy of what might happen next, whether by chance or circumstance.
Perhaps a little unorthodox, I am not going to name the artists here. Once you see the work in this space the surprise will be that much better. It is very exciting to figure out how each artist decides what they want us to see. The bonus is getting a peek inside their studios at a singular moment in their practice.
On one wall are marked up images framed in thrift store finds. Having been run through an ink jet printer on glossy paper they unmask poorly constructed editorials that were actually published in a local magazine. The feet of a model are cut off, like colors bleed into one another on the page and the unsubtle retrofitting made here renders the original crappy art direction more blatantly obvious.
This artist continues on a path towards what I see as his studies of hierarchy and status that stand in line with photographer Diane Arbus. This theory is elevated to another level; especially with this work as Arbus herself was once a successful editorial photographer before becoming better known for her studies of people standing on the edge of society.
Set along another wall is an installation where copper tubing hangs between the individual pieces; a reminder that Sub Gallery is not only a residence, but also the maintenance zone of the apartment building above it. The tubing is a perfectly organic three-dimensional addition to the work surrounding it.
Works of gouache on paper and acrylic on panel is of a different visual language altogether and set naturally into the space. One might find themselves standing right beside it for some time before realizing it's not part of the decor. Conversely, an African mask hung elsewhere is a symbolic gesture that is more a paean to this particular artists' long-running trajectory of examining history, politics and our own place within it.
The very point of this show having no particular rhythm is giving the precision of none at all. Rexroth expects, and I agree, the viewer is going to have to figure that out for themselves. However, the organism that does link one another is the individual point of practice from each artist disclosing something personal about their work. It reveals a kernel of intimacy about why they make the work they do and Sub Gallery becomes the environment in which to contextualize this. Rexroth says this entire endeavor is her first attempt at rationalizing what works in here and the artists selected add energy to the environment.
Curatorial Studies isn't necessarily constructed for you to love or not love, although I do believe it would be difficult not to find something personal to hold onto. Think of this exhibition more as a laboratory of ideas and processes landing in a space that feels energetic, forward-thinking and not precious at all.

| I am extremely opposed to the consumption of any product of a cloned animal. If these products are put on the market, they MUST be labelled as cloned. It is our right as American citizens to know what we are consuming. We depend on the FDA to protect us, not harm us by exposing us to potential harm.

LONDON – U.S. Olympic wrestler Ellis Coleman, whose acrobatic "Flying Squirrel" takedown move became a YouTube sensation, now owns a flying squirrel.
Coleman, 20, who will compete in the 132-pound class of Greco-Roman wrestling, did his signature move last year en route to a third-place finish at the junior world championships.
He snapped his opponent's head down. Then he jumped head-first over him. As Coleman descended behind the other wrestler's shoulder, he grabbed him around the chest and took him down. In a sport that doesn't get a lot of mainstream attention, Coleman provided just that.
"It's my nickname ("Flying Squirrel), and I kind of go with it wherever I go. And I actually bought a pet flying squirrel," Coleman said at a news conference Wednesday.
The pet squirrel is in Colorado Springs, where he trains, and is named Rocky. Coleman said he bought him for about $500.
"Some company came into the mall we were at in Colorado Springs, and they were selling them. And I had to buy one," said Coleman, who is from Oak Park, Ill.
So where do you keep a flying squirrel?
"I keep him in a cage," Coleman said. "He just hops around all the time."
U.S. Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas also goes by the nickname "Flying Squirrel."
"Yeah, I checked that out," Coleman said. "Someone messaged me and told me to take a picture with her and send it to him."

Vintage Halloween Postcards
Halloween has its roots in an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain, celebrating the end of summer. The night marking the change of season from summer to winter, the beginning of the Celtic New Year, was supposedly filled with magic. On this day, ghosts and demons were free to roam the earth, so villagers would wear ghastly costumes to fool the spirits and make food offerings to the dead.
These pagan celebrations were adapted by the Catholic church as All Souls Day and All Saints Day. The night before All Saints Day would be called "All Hallows Eve," then "Hallowe'en." In the 19th century, Irish immigrants brought renewed interested in Hallowe'en to the United States, with masquerades, house-to-house visits, and the jack o' lantern, based on a myth about a soul trapped on earth who was given the burning embers of hell to light his way.
But it was the Victorians who homogenized diverse Halloween traditions in middle-class England and America. For them, it became a genteel holiday about romance, parlour games, and child's play. Even ghost stories were softened into tales of passion, as members of high society competed to one-up each other with their Halloween parties.
The late 1800s also marked the beginning of the "golden era" of postcards, which were the text messaging or social media of the day—people sent these cheap greetings for any reason, particularly holidays. This trend lasted until around 1918.
Turn-of-the-century Halloween postcards featured cute, fat jack o' lanterns topped with equally adorable chubby-cheeked children. Black cats, which used to be burned at Christian festivals for being "witches familiars," were also cuddly icons of these cards, while the witches were often depicted as very pretty ladies bringing messages of love.
The most beautiful and most collected Halloween postcards were published by John O. Winsch of New York between the years of 1911 and 1915. Winsch used heavy, rich inks and embossing on his cards, and sent them to Germany to be printed. Some appeared in sets of six, but most came in sets of four. Some of these postcards had booklets attached, and still others had die-cuts. Thanks to the Payne-Aldrich Act, which increased the tariff on imported cards, Winsch cards were two for a nickel, while cards printed in America only cost a penny.
The most collected Winsch "Hallowe'en" postcards were the artist-signed postcards designed by American artist Samuel L. Schmucker, who painted beautiful women in lush, bright colors, signing some of his artwork with the monogram "SLS."...
The Edwardian romanticism is obvious in the accompanying verses. Winsch cards might say things like, "On Halloween, take the seeds from a Pumpkin, place them in front of the sofa in the form of a cross – then the Witches won't bother you. That's a hard name to call ma and pa but they were young themselves once and won't mind it." Or, "On Halloween, Goblins have been known to fly away with Fair Maidens. Therefore 'tis best to have some one hold you and tightly, too, -- because Goblins are strong."
One particularly popular superstition for romantic Halloween cards shows a young woman looking into a mirror at the stroke of midnight to see the face of her true love, using the light of a jack o' lantern. At times, she is pictured looking into a hand mirror at a larger mirror over her shoulder, and other times, she is looking directly into the larger mirror, as the specter of her future husband hovers over her shoulder.
Jason Frexias, meanwhile, produced holiday cards for Winsch with round-faced toddlers with starfish hands. Because Frexias did not copyright his work, his images would be copied. An illustration of a child originally perched on a jack o'lantern would be lifted and placed on an Easter egg or a heart for a Valentine's Day card. These knockoff illustrations, which Frexias was not paid for, lack the detail of the original. It's particularly obvious with European holiday cards that pirated Frexias designs, where you can see the child still holding the lid of a jack o'lantern, while sitting on a flaming Valentine heart.
Ellen H. Clapsaddle, one of the most prolific American postcard artists of the era, produced some of the most collectible Halloween cards today for Raphael Tuck and Sons, International Art Publishing Company, and Wolf Publishing Company, a subsidiary of Inter-Art that Clapsaddle launched herself. Her style is distinct, particularly her illustrations of children.
H.B. Griggs is another highly collectible holiday postcard artist, although so little is known about Griggs it is unclear whether the illustrator was a man or woman. Griggs, using the signature H.B.G., published almost exclusively for Leubrie and Elkus of New York.
Grace Gebbie Drayton, known for her iconic Campbell's Kids, made Halloween cards for Raphael Tuck and Sons showing the similar big-eyed chubby-cheeked kids. Comic-strip artist Clare Victor Dwiggins made a gorgeous set of unsigned Halloween cards in fantasy style featuring a beautiful "witching queen" presumably based on his wife, who was often a model for the lovely ladies on his cards.

Talk:A pizza a day keeps the doctor away
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
A bit more formatting work would not go amiss. Submit the article to pee review if you would like more detailed criticism. As for the ICU, it still hangs very much in the balance, I would be tempted to userspace this one to give you longer to work on it, some more coherence and structure to your work would be ideal as it meanders all over the place at the moment and I'm having a hard time identifying a structure that tells me what the article aims to say and what all the sections are trying to accomplish. My advice is pee review, or at the very least a quick look at some of our featured articles to give you an idea of the sort of thing to aim for. Leave the ICU in place for now, get hold of me on my talk page if you want me to take another look for you. --ChiefjusticePS2 11:47, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
- So your job is the judge. I didn't know that, and should have come to you first. I thank you for showing me where to go. All the article says is that a pizza a day keeps the doctor away, but you have to put garlic on the pizza. Then all the things involved talk about it. The doctor even writes a poem. I've read some featured articles and they seem very similar to each other and to this article, just lots of words telling people about something. Some of them make me laugh, others make me think and appreciate them. I wrote this article to just give people a slice of life, and that the old cannard about eating an apple a day will keep the doctor away has some other competition in the form of pizza. But I will follow your ruling and see about a review. Thank you. President Barack Obama 12:00, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
- Some formatting would do your work wonders, I have had a closer look and there is some good stuff there, perhaps if you arrange things a bit more cohesively your jokes may be plainer initially. Some section headings would work well, change "here's what the doctor thinks" into a heading and you separate the poem from the introduction to the article. Just a suggestion. --ChiefjusticePS2 12:04, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
edit I'm Italian
I'm Italian, and I confirm: a pizza a day keeps the doctor away. But is because the doctor knows the patient will die anyway..
edit I'm Not Italian
I'm not Italian but I eat pizza anyway. So far, I have to agree with the Italians that a pizza a day keeps the doctor away, but not far enough. Last Tuesday, I saw a doctor lurking through the hedges in my back yard and, just today, there was another one holding a stethoscope to the side of my house!
It's just a matter of time before the pizza kills me or the doctors do.

It would have taken some serious belief to hold on to iron ore stocks throughout the past year. Data after data showed Chinese economic growth was slowing and the Steel Index scared investors as iron ore prices plunged to new lows on a near daily basis.
About 60 per cent of Australia's iron ore goes to China. And as China's growth stuttered, iron ore prices plunged from about $US180 a tonne in September 2011 to a three-year low of $US86.70 a tonne on September 5. Despite expectations of a rebound to $US120 a tonne as high-cost Chinese producers shut production, local iron ore stocks were decimated.
Iron ore has rebounded from the September low, jumping 41.6 per cent to $US122.80 a tonne but many stock prices remain depressed.
Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Young expects iron ore prices will remain volatile next year, swinging between $US90 and $US130 a tonne, although current prices are in line with Deutsche's 2013 average price forecast of $US116 a tonne. Oversupply is an additional risk.
"There's quite a lot of incremental supply coming in next year and, if steel production doesn't absorb that, there's only one direction prices can head," Young says. The question remains whether some mining shares have been driven to bargain prices.
BBY analyst Mike Harrowell says: "The debate is whether or not all the assessment for the cost curve works and the iron ore price will be sustained above $US120 a tonne. It still remains to be seen whether you can take $US120 a tonne as a long-term investment view.
"We would expect the share prices of iron ore companies to rise between now and mid-year; longer than that we're not comfortable. It's a trading play."
Shareholders felt the full brunt of the collapse in iron ore prices and the associated plunge in mining stocks. Its shares have dived 51 per cent over the past 12 months. The stock hit a 3½ -year low of $1.20 on September 5, coinciding with the bottoming of the iron ore price.
Young thinks the stock is fully valued due to the lower realised price Atlas receives for impurities, the lower grade of its ore and the high uncertainty around the Horizon 2 expansion project, which is dependent on gaining access to third-party rail.
Harrowell is more optimistic, saying Atlas's culture suggests a bias in favour of doing a deal – or deals – that maintains their low capex structure and modest gearing.
"The Atlas management have come this far without spending a lot of money," he says.
It is a low-cost producer, with genuine cash costs of $45 a tonne before royalties, says Harrowell.
In August the miner took a 5 per cent equity stake in
To date BC Iron has had a conservative approach to expansion and the alliance provides growth potential outside the ramp-up of its Nullagine joint venture with
"They are looking to grow with a very strong balance sheet and an anti-risk culture, and they've delivered really well on their initial project," Harrowell says.
BC Iron is Bank of America Merrill Lynch's top pick in the small-cap iron ore space as it expands production capacity to 6 million tonnes a year and vies to become Australia's fifth-biggest listed iron ore producer.
The stock is down more than 45 per cent over the past 12 months and crashed to a 3½-year low of 65¢ on November 16, but its comparatively lower-risk profile could see the stock recover.
"With Mount Gibson it comes to down to what they do with their cash reserves, either distribute to shareholders or invest. There aren't many companies out there with strong balance sheets in the mid to small space that can invest in new projects," Young says.
On Deutsche Bank's forecasts, the miner's cash reserves will be more than $500 million within 12 to 18 months, compared with its current market capitalisation of about $720 million.

Rockhampton, Australia (AFP) Jan 4, 2011
The Australian military prepared Tuesday to step up efforts to supply the city of Rockhampton, which has been cut off by the rising waters.
Up to 200,000 people are estimated to have been hit by the fast-flowing waters that have inundated 22 rural towns in the country's northeast, across an area the size of France and Germany.
Early Tuesday the Australian Bureau of Meteorology issued several updated flood warnings, one saying the Fitzroy river was 9.15 metres (almost 30 feet) at Rockhampton and "rising slowly with major flooding".
It is not expected to peak -- at levels not seen for more than 55 years -- until Wednesday, the bureau added, with major flooding continuing for a week after that.
Other rivers across Queensland were also still rising, while in some parts of the state flooding was expected to ease slowly.
With the last land route to Rockhampton cut, three Australian Defence Force helicopters will provide the city's only lifeline for food and medical supplies.
The military rushed in food and medical supplies Monday as the floods rose around the city.
"Looks like Rockhampton's in the middle of an inland sea," Queensland Premier Anna Bligh said after flying over the area. "The amount of water coming down these river systems is nothing short of astonishing.
Bligh later said that Rockhampton had been cut off, with the last route into the town inundated.
"The highway is cut at Rockhampton," Bligh told ABC radio. "Rockhampton is now completely stranded -- a town of 75,000 people -- no airport, rail or road."
"The affected area is greater than the size of New South Wales (state), with the worst still to come in communities like Rockhampton," Bligh said.
"Supplying them with food, ensuring that we keep them safe during this flood is absolutely critical."
Bligh said floods had also halted operations at 75 per cent of Queensland's coal fields, which supplied half of the world's coking coal, an essential ingredient in steel manufacturing.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard on Monday offered emergency funds to people affected by the floods, including farmers more used to battling crippling droughts, as well as to small businesses.
"When the floodwaters recede, we are going to see a lot of damage but we will obviously be working with the state government to rebuild that essential community infrastructure," Gillard told reporters in Sydney.
"All in all, we know hundreds of millions of dollars are going to flow into Queensland."
Gillard, who toured some of the devastated areas Friday, said that for some communities these were "the biggest floods they have ever seen" and warned people to be aware of the risks of the fast-flowing waters.
Police on Monday confirmed the third death since the floods were declared a disaster, that of a man who drowned after his vehicle was swept into a flooded river.
His death followed that of a man who died after abandoning his boat Saturday as it took on water, and a woman who drowned as she was swept away by surging waters that swamped her car.
Ten people have now died in flood-related accidents since November 30 -- including three whose vehicles were swept away, two people who attempted to swim in fast-flowing waters, a man who was knocked off a footbridge and a girl who drowned while trying to walk across a river.
Queensland state assistant police commissioner Alistair Dawson has warned the emergency could drag on for a month, saying that, while parts of the state were in recovery mode, others were bracing for the worst.
Rockhampton Mayor Brad Carter said the flooding, set to peak in Wednesday in the city, would take a long time to recede.
"We expect to have our airport closed for the best part of three weeks," he told reporters Monday.
The floods are wreaking untold billions of dollars in damage to crops and Australia's key mining industry, while farmers, small businesses and tourism are also expected to suffer.
In Bundaberg, in Queensland's southeast, the clean-up had begun in about 300 homes and 120 businesses as flood waters receded, but other towns such as Theodore and Condamine remained empty of residents.
"It's just devastating," Queenslander Beryl Callaghan told Sky News after returning to her water-damaged home.

CATable: A cry for help from a desperate cat ownerView gallery - 8 images
Another one for our Top Ten Cat Gadgets? Ruan Hao's CATable could only be the invention of a severely Stockholm Syndrome-impaired cat owner. Designed as a desperate ploy to convince your cat that there's somewhere more interesting to be than on top of your laptop right now, there is only one possible reaction I can imagine from the world's feline population: utter disdain.
Nice guys finish last, especially when they own cats. Chinese designer Ruan Hao sounds like a really nice guy. Exactly the kind of guy a cat would take advantage of at every opportunity. Listen to him describe his CATable invention in his own, charming words:
More than 1,200 New Atlas Plus subscribers directly support our journalism, and get access to our premium ad-free site and email newsletter. Join them for just US$19 a year.UPGRADE
People who live with cats always have these kind of experiences.
1. Putting away the cat from your laptop is like a sentimental ritual of temporary farewell.
2. A proper sized hole could be so irresistible to cats. Their curiosity would be greatly satisfied through repetitively exploring the unknown path behind the hole.
The design of CATable was a fusion of those experiences, as well a locus where the interaction occurs. It is a table for us, and a paradise for cats.
The poor, sweet, battered soul. Does he not understand? Buy a cat an expensive toy, and it will take great delight in playing with the box, and show nothing but contempt for the toy itself. Build a cat a thousand-dollar gorgeous table full of hidey holes, and you'll do nothing but reaffirm Muffy's deep affection for the window sill and the warm laptop keyboard.
This cat is thinking "Dad has forced me into this hole, and I shall remain here until the time is ripe to attack his unprotected crotch."
Either way, the CATable is a beautiful piece of furniture as well as a thinly veiled cry for help. Messages of condolence and suggestions for support groups can be sent to Ruan Hao at LYCS Architecture.View gallery - 8 images

A warmer Antarctica makes a hospitable home for these crabs, endangering an entire ecosystem that has no defenses against them.
On a two-month voyage of the Swedish icebreaker Oden and U.S. research vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer, marine biologists collected digital images of hundreds of crabs moving closer to the shallow coastal waters that have been protected from predators with pincers for more than 40 million years. They are the same kind of deep-water crabs with big red claws that you might find at the seafood counter.
"Along the western Antarctica peninsula we have found large populations over like 30 miles of transects. It was quite impressive," said Sven Thatje, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Southampton in England and chief scientist on the cruise.
Finding crabs on the bottom of the ocean isn't that big a deal. But here in Antarctica, crabs haven't lived in coastal waters for the past 40 million years. Until now, it's been too cold.

The best thing about condo living in a hip area is all the awesome food spots to eat at.
The worst thing about condo living in a hip area is the desire to eat all said food at said awesome food spots which instantly reflect themselves upon ones own hips.
The best thing about condo-living is how fast it takes to clean up this tiny place. A simple clean? 30 minutes. A sparkle floor-to-ceiling scrub down? One hour. Maybe.
The worst thing about condo-living is how fast it takes to messy up this tiny place. One teddy bear here, one stray sock there and we're quickly mimicking a hoarders episode.
The best thing about condo-living is how you never really feel alone. Like hearing about how angry our next door neighbor was at her mom because, well, she never listens to her. And Bob? His door swung wide open by a gust of wind as I walked past and he invited us in to meet his little girl Lulu who told us she's quite fabulous at hula-hooping and can scooter like the best of them. Maybe its because I'm a writer and have read way too many Alexandar McCall Smith books on the joys of joint-dwelling but there's a particular charm to living in close proximity of others and the availability of a diverse group of muses. Not something I want to do forever but helpful for writing ideas just the same and while I don't need to know why Becky doesn't appreciate how Ben didn't take out the trash, it's an interesting opportunity to play amateur-anthropologist.
As cool as that is, its slightly uncool to know as much as you can peek into the lives of others, they can peek into yours though mine is little more scintillating than a mother chasing a toddler through various rooms for the better part of a day. Except when we pretend with stuffed jungle animals. And sadly pretending to be elephants and giraffes dancing at a tea party are not typically the silent endeavors I'd like them to be.
House-hunting is going full steam and the debate over space versus location ever-present and ever-confounding [as our parents shake their head in puzzlement at cottages under consideration when palaces could be bought just over yonder to which I say, losing minutes of my life on commutes in congested traffic to said yonder is minutes too many tiny house or not]. Though its a 'buyers market' potential sellers, fully aware of this, are generally not putting their good stuff up. Sifting through a lot of mediocre inventory and trying not to get discouraged. Eventually we'll find a house. Or send Waleed off to college from this here condo. Either way, roof over head, bed to sleep on, table to eat on. That there sentence contained more blessings than I can count so I'll keep the complaints on the woes of house-hunting to a minimum. I have a home in all the ways that truly matter.

well, that's debatable. while we're lucky to have a pretty decent location and lots of space, i'm not exactly thrilled about the town we live in. looks like we'll be here for at least another couple of years though.
