23 ways you didn't realize you're offending your children
Parents have a tendency to drive their kids crazy. Generations have different social rules and expectations, sure. And parents almost always have their children's best interests at heart. But you may be saying things that are rude or offensive without even realizing it. This might not be fun to hear, but you don't always know what's best. Here are some common mistakes parents make that offend their children.
Pressuring them to get married
In years past, etiquette and expectations dictated that people get married in their 20s or early 30s. But it's the 21st century, people. Times have changed, and your children may not get married until much later. Don't pressure your child into marriage. It's unlikely they'll listen to you, and if they do, the pressure could influence them to stay in or pursue a relationship that's actually toxic.istockphoto.com
Asking about future grandkids
It seems like as soon as a couple gets married, the mother or father of the bride or groom starts asking about grandkids. Don't be that parent. You may be hoping to see grandchildren before you reach old age, but that may not happen. Deciding whether or not to have children is a personal decision. Practice your patience and let your children come to you with the big news. Some couples can't have children, so your seemingly innocent inquiry is actually one of the rudest questions you can ask.istockphoto.com
Commenting on their weight
Everyone's heard some iteration of body shaming from their parents. Even the supposed compliments ("Eat something, you're so thin!") can be tough to hear. It is never OK to comment on your child's weight. Asking them if they've lost weight, giving them weight loss tips, telling them they're thin or mentioning body changes in any way should be avoided. These things can all have serious negative effects on their mental health, ranging from a dip in self-esteem to a full-blown eating disorder.istockphoto.com
Commenting on their appearance
Weight-related comments are especially important to avoid, but you really shouldn't be critical of any aspect of your child's appearance. Wardrobe choices and hairstyle opinions are personal and are an important way for your child to express who they are. Critiquing their appearance comes across as a critique of their inherent worth as a human being. You may want to limit the number of compliments you pay towards your child's looks, as well. Focusing praise on appearance rather than other aspects (personality, interests, intelligence, etc.) can make your child feel like looks are the most important thing. Believing that appearance is what matters most can contribute to body image issues and insecurity.istockphoto.com
Commenting on their parenting
You shouldn't really comment on anyone's parenting decisions. But many parents feel entitled to comment on how their children raise their grandkids. Never contradict the parenting decisions of your child in front of their kids. Having grandchildren can change your life, but try not to impose your own rules.istockphoto.com
Asking when they're moving home
Some parents bug their children about moving back to their hometown. The answer to "When are you moving home, honey?" might be "Never." And that's OK! Yes, you miss your child dearly now that they've left the nest, but you need to let them fly free.istockphoto.com
Taking credit for their accomplishments
Your children might have gotten their beauty and their brains from you, but more than just genetics helped them achieve their dreams. Don't take credit for their positive qualities and their accomplishments. Celebrate them for their efforts!istockphoto.com
Preaching your politics
Children sometimes stray from the political beliefs of their parents. You need to accept that your child is an individual with opinions and thoughts of their own. As tempting as it may be to preach your politics, allow them to make these decisions for themselves. Telling them how to feel about political issues can come across as belittling and rude.istockphoto.com
Pressuring your religion
Religion, like politics, is a personal choice. You can teach your children about your religion if it's important to you, but let them decide on their own what to believe. Forcing your kids to go to church or telling them they'll go to hell, for instance, could backfire and make your child resent religion (and you!), instead.istockphoto.com
Making comments about race, religion or sexual orientation
Older generations have a reputation for being less tolerant than younger folks, but it's important to do your best to accept all groups of people and identities. Your biases may be unintentional, but they can still be offensive. You never know who your child really is or who their friends and loved ones are. Do your best to learn about social issues and movements. Try to learn your biases and eradicate them. Take steps to support the LGBTQ community. And most importantly, let your child express their identity in whatever ways they please.istockphoto.com
Being passive-aggressive
If you're upset about something, be direct about it. Nothing is worse than a passive-aggressive family member. Be mature and talk through conflict, don't let it fester while you mutter snide comments under your breath.istockphoto.com
Making choices for them
Some parents get so caught up in their child's life that they end up trying to take over their decisions. Everything from what to wear to a big interview to which career path to pursue should be decided by the person themselves. It may be tempting to micromanage your child's life or influence their decisions. After all, you don't want them to make the wrong choice! But messing up sometimes is an important part of learning and growing up. Plus, you might not actually know what's best for them. The best judge of that is probably your child.istockphoto.com
Telling them to leave you alone
Never tell your child to leave you alone. Children of all ages crave love and attention. Yes, they can get annoying, but don't let your short patience get the best of you. Causing your child to feel unloved and pushed away could have long-term effects.istockphoto.com
Labeling them
Calling your children any sort of name or labeling them with personality traits is really not OK. For a child to hear you call them nosy, picky, annoying or another negative train can be hurtful. And even a seemingly benign comment like "You're so shy!" or "Kelly's such a klutz" could actually be offensive and embarrassing.istockphoto.com
Invading their privacy
It's never OK to invade your child's privacy. Don't rummage through their room when they're not home. Avoid eavesdropping on their private conversations. If they keep a journal, don't read it. You may be worried or want to protect your child, but being invasive is dishonest and can build resentment when they inevitably find out that you snooped.istockphoto.com
Speaking for them
There's nothing worse than when someone asks you a question and your mom pipes up with a (sometimes incorrect) answer. "Oh, Sophie loves asparagus." "Noah wants to go to school for medicine! Don't you, Noah?" Maybe not! Pipe down and let your kid speak for themselves.istockphoto.com
Dismissing their emotions
People need to feel heard and validated by the people they love. If they have feelings they want to talk through, listen to them. If they are upset about something, it's worth addressing. Don't dismiss your child's feelings or tell them not to express them. And never, ever tell your child not to cry.istockphoto.com
Not respecting their belongings
One of the first things you should do once your kids move out is to clean up their room. But don't throw things away without asking. Tell your child what you're doing with their belongings and when you're repurposing their bedroom. Yes, it's your house, but it was their home once, too. Their room and their childhood belongings probably mean a lot to them.istockphoto.com
Comparing them to their siblings
Growing up with siblings sets kids up for all kinds of comparisons at school already. One child is usually thought of as smarter, better at sports or more outgoing. Any quiet kid knows it's the worst to hear "You're so shy compared to your sister!" And being compared to the shining GPA of an older sibling can make a child feel discouraged or ashamed. Try not to contribute to the comparison game as a parenting tactic. It's annoying and, frankly, offensive to be told that a sibling is better at something than you are. Your kids should feel that they are all admired and respected equally.istockphoto.com
Trying to change them
No matter if you're 5 years old or 31, it can be tough to feel like you aren't accepted by your parents. Don't try to change your children. It's one of the worst things you can do as a parent and role model. Guide them in the right direction and lead by example, but if your child has a quirk or trait that concerns you, don't try to alter it. If your daughter doesn't want to be a lawyer, you can't make her. And if your (adult) son wants to cover himself in tattoos, that's his decision.istockphoto.com
"Projecting" is a phenomenon common in toxic relationships wherein someone projects their own flaws or struggles onto someone else. For instance, a parent who is irresponsible with money may tell their child that they are recklessly spending even though they aren't. Another example might be a mother who feels she hasn't had enough career success putting too much pressure on their child to achieve. This is something you should avoid doing in all of your relationships, but especially with your children. Parents' projection can cause a child to change their behavior in order to live up to expectations or lash out if they feel they are being accused of something unfairly.istockphoto.com
Telling them how to spend their money
Once your child has become an adult, it's no longer acceptable for you to critique their spending. Their finances are their business. You can express concern or have a discussion. But don't tell them what to do. What you should tell them is how to do their taxes, open a savings account and understand paperwork. They don't teach financial planning in school, unfortunately. Make sure to prepare them for adulthood with this information and other pieces of advice financial planners wish people knew.istockphoto.com
Complaining about how often they call
Don't complain to your child about how often or rarely they call you. Telling them they call too often can make them feel like a burden, while complaining they don't call enough comes across as clingy. Either way, you're making them feel guilty. You may not always be free when they need you, but telling them you're always available to talk is one of the few lies it's OK to tell your kids.

NAHBS 2012 – We're Back
by March 7, 2012 | 0 commentson
Thank you Sacramento, we had great time at the NAHBS show and enjoyed exploring downtown. Thanks also to all who stopped by our booth it was great to catch up with some of our customers in person and also meet those new customers that are interested in our frames. We took three bikes: a fat tire road bike, and two cross bikes, one stainless and another that was fillet brazed which were all well received. We had a good time each night hanging out with Don and the guys at Anvil, the Kirklee boys, Jeremy from Gallus, Eric from Edoz, and Jon from Airdale paint. Thanks also to Aaron at Whiskey and Joe at KVA, for there help with forks and tubes for our frames. We look forward to Denver in 2013. Here is a photo of our booth:
Here is a link to photos of our frames on Cyclingnews – http://www.cyclingnews.com/
We also should be on MTBR with a video interview soon.
This week it is shop clean up from the last minute packing for the show and then back to working on the build queue which is slowly growing =)

So, a little while ago, at the Little Monsters Baby and Toddler Show, I ran a competition for mums and dads to win the chance to commission a babygro keepsake monster. The winner was the lovely Marcia who sent me a teeny tiny little babygro which both her beautiful babies wore as newborns. She wanted a mummy monster with two baby monsters, a boy and a girl, to reflect this…and so I got to work.
I chose to use towelling for the mummy monster to stick with the newborn theme, but it turns out that it is just the WORST material to work with! It pulls really easily and little bits come off it like crazy. I spent the time I was working on the project looking like a big hairy monster myself!
Anyway, it was all worth it in the end and I really hope Marcia and her bambino's like it and will be able to cherish it forever, as is the intention with my keepsake monsters.
If you would like one of your own, why not drop me a line through my contact page.

The number one reason people say they put off purchasing a puppy is the fear that they won't be able to train it properly. In fact, some of the first questions we hear from clients when they're considering just such a purchase are the following:
Is this breed easy to train? How long does housebreaking take? Can I train a puppy even though I work? Can my kids help with the training? Should I purchase a puppy when I'm on vacation to make training easier? Do I need to fence in my yard before I purchase a puppy? Our decision to offer unlimited training assistance to our new puppy owners at no additional charge, has proven to be a huge success. Unlike other facilities that offer nothing, or simply a referral to a trainer that typically charges hundreds of dollars for a basic lesson course, we offer written training advice and assistance for the life of the puppy.
Before a customer even takes their new puppy home, our staff goes through housebreaking procedures step by step. Our housebreaking techniques are applied around a working couples schedule and requires no paper training. In addition, some breeds can be litter box trained which works well for elderly clients, customers that work long hours, or apartment dwellers. Of course once the puppy is at home, the training goes further. Our staff are available by phone seven days a week for any questions or advice the new puppy owners have about housebreaking, feeding, problem correction etc. In addition, our website offers private access to an online site with tons of advice covering many aspects of obedience training, socialization, feeding, and care for your puppy!
All of the puppies offered for sale through our licensed facility have been examined by a minimum of two licensed veterinarians prior to being offered for sale. Every puppy we sell is certified by a licensed veterinarian as "fit for sale". In addition, each puppy receives age appropriate vaccinations and parasite control treatment.
Our veterinarian is on call and visits us often to assist us in maintaining our state of the art facility where our puppies are our utmost concern. Each puppy is examined shortly after arrival and then re-examined as needed and/or every 14 days while it stays with us.
The breeder and their family handle all of the early care and socialization for our puppies before arrival. Upon arrival, our kennel staff and management team provide for the puppies all of their dietary, grooming and socialization needs on a daily basis until they go to their forever homes.
Acclimating the puppies and teaching them to be calm while brushing, nail clipping, and bathing is just a small part of our socialization program. The puppies are handled daily in a variety of situations and with different people so that when they reach their new home they are happy, well-adjusted companions, and ready for their forever homes where our customers will then continue with providing all of their training and socialization needs to ensure that they become well adjusted members of their family.
Nationally, every two seconds a family pet is lost. That represents millions of pets every year! Shelters do their very best to locate owners, but if your pet has no form of identification, there's not much they can do. Shelters are already caring for so many lost and homeless pets and can only keep them all for a short period of time. Meanwhile, owners are frantically spending time and money trying to find their beloved pet. Tragically, many never make it back home.
Developed by a veterinarian, the micro-chip is a tiny cylinder (smaller than a grain of rice) that contains a personal, one of a kind identification number that is so tiny that it fits through a hypodermic needle. It is implanted under the skin of your pet just like a vaccination and has been proven both safe and effective. After being injected into your pet, it remains there safely for life. The pet owner then simply registers their pet's micro-chip number and supplies the micro-chip company with important contact information so that in the event that their pet gets lost or stolen, the animal shelter or veterinarian hospital that picks up their animal can simply scan the animal with a special scanner, retrieve the identification number, punch that number into a computer and have the owner on the phone in a matter of minutes! Every puppy that we offer for sale has already been implanted with a micro-chip!

In civil lawsuits, people frequently have their depositions taken. A deposition is a question and answer session under oath between a witness and at least one attorney. When the witness is testifying on behalf of one party, either the plaintiff or the defendant, Find A Lawyer By Name in Rivonia the opposing party's attorney will do most of the questioning. Usually, the lawyers for all parties are in the room, although not all of the attorneys present choose to ask questions. There is usually a court reporter present taking down what everyone says on a stenotype machine. There are many reasons for lawyers to take legal depositions.
Here are just a few. Rules The most prominent reason someone has to give a deposition is because a lawyer is not allowed to simply call up a witness for the other side and start asking questions. In fact, Va Lawyers Near Me they are not allowed to speak to them about the case when that person has been designated as a witness for another party. Instead, it must be done in a formal setting. The witness is usually subpoenaed and the lawyer that has designated that person as a witness will usually be present.Information When an attorney believes someone has information that will lead to discoverable evidence in a civil case, they are allowed to take their deposition.
The witness is required by law to cooperate and answer fully and honestly any of the proper questions asked by the lawyers. Oftentimes, the lawyer may not know all of the important facts of the case. There may be people, objective third parties, who witnessed a car accident or that have factual information that is crucial to the case. Learning what they know about it may shed light on the case before it goes to court. This prevents one side from springing surprises on the other during trial.Intimidation On rare occasions, an attorney will take the deposition of a witness for the other side to intimidate or make the person nervous.
Former U.S. Intel Attorney Carrie Cordero: Trump Has Damaged U.S. Reputation | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
This is more common in domestic dispute matters, such as child custody or divorce cases. It also happens more often to the plaintiff, Personal Injury Attorney Near Me the party bringing the lawsuit. This is sometimes done to make sure the witness knows the lawyer means business. Playing hardball in a deposition is what happens when the attorney is purposefully trying to make the witness uncomfortable. This may be done to make sure they tell the truth and to find out if the person will drop the case, rather than have to go through similar questioning in court, as well if the case goes to trial.
Find A Lawyer By Name in Rivonia ?
Litigation means a trial, right? So what does it matter if you hire a litigation attorney or a trial attorney? Can't they both perform the same functions? Not necessarily, which is why it's important to do your research before you hire an attorney to help you with a litigation lawsuit.Litigation AttorneysFirst of all, litigation does not automatically mean a trial is going to happen. The vast majority of the time, lawsuits are settled out of court without ever going to a jury. This is due to the work of the litigation attorney or litigator.Litigation attorneys handle all of the work that happens outside a courtroom. They file lawsuits, gather evidence, conduct legal research, meet with the client, file and argue motions and defend their clients. This is all done long before a lawsuit even gets close to going to a judge and jury. Litigators may even attempt mediation to achieve an out of court settlement but if a case looks like it is going to go to court, these lawyers can take depositions and prepare clients and their witnesses.Although there are differences between the two attorneys, those differences don't make one better than the other. They each serve different functions and perform different roles. Working with both types will give you the best of both worlds: an expert lawyer familiar with the ins and outs of your case and an expert presenter who can best argue your position in court if it gets that far. Many law firms have both litigators and lawyers on staff, giving you access to both types of specialists under one roof.If you prefer to have a single lawyer represent you through the entire process, be sure to ask about his or her experience in court and specifically if it has included cases covering the same legal subjects as yours. Then you'll need to decide if the attorney has the experience you need to carry your case through to the end or if you're better off starting out with a litigator and hiring a trial lawyer if and when your case gets to the courtroom.

Staff Reading Pick
Here is another reading pick from the Logan Library Staff.
Book: Death Makes a Holiday: A Cultural History of Halloween by David J. Skal
Recommended by: Joseph, Nonfiction Acquisitions
In this short history of America's second-most popular holiday, author Skal examines several ways Halloween has influenced our culture. After first attempting to disprove some of our favorite legends about the holiday (there is apparently no evidence that Jack O'Lanterns originated in Celtic Europe, as many assume), Skal tells us of the strange way the Salem witch trials have been co-opted by enterprising New-Agers in modern Salem, Mass. He also leads us through several decades of American haunted house building and takes us into the middle of clashes over gay rights during San Francisco's Halloween street parades. Finally, he comprehensively takes us through 90 years of Halloween at the movies and, in what are perhaps his most compelling observations, Skal examines how the attacks of September 11 affected the holiday and what it all means for America. Like any good cultural history, there are also many intertwining references to other curious information which leave you wanting to know more. An informational and enjoyable read to get you in a spooky mood.

Spirit Shearing Comb
A general purpose comb.
Common Uses
- Sheep (shearing)
- Sheep (blocking)
- Llamas
- Alpacas
- Fly strike prevention and treatment
- 13 teeth
- 3.2 mm thick, 77 mm wide
- Similar to Heiniger's Ovina, Sunbeam's Pacer and Oster's P1082
- Fits Premier's 4000s or any 3" shearing head.
How to Use
Storing the Clipper/Shearer, Blades, Combs & Cutters
- Remove blades/combs/cutters from clipper or shearer.
- Clean blades/combs/cutters immediately after use by using a small brush or blowing off any excess dirt or hair. Cover with oil to reduce risk of rust. High carbon steel clipper blades will rust overnight. Rust destroys both edge and polished surface of blades.
- Store clipper/shearer and blades away from solvents, chemicals and moisture. Never leave them where they can be damaged by accidental impact. (We offer a storage box and wool felt for the blades and a case for the clippers.)
Sharpening and Cleaning
- To reproduce the quality of the cutting edge on the clipper blades that came from the factory, a lapping machine must be used. Most other methods are, in our experience, inferior. In addition to producing a cutting edge that won't last, some methods can permanently damage blades. The most common "culprit" is using large high speed grinding wheels that are used to sharpen cutters and combs.
- Who uses lapping machines and who does not? Premier does and you can ship them to us. Other firms also use systems/machines that work well.
Warning: Clipper blades/cutters/combs that have been sharpened by inferior methods or inexperienced people may be damaged to such an extent that they can never be restored to a satisfactory cutting capability. The same is true of blades that have become too heavily pitted by rust.
- Make sure the comb & cutter are on as described in the instructions.
- Make sure the comb name can be read on outside when placed on head.
- Make sure to have 1/8" space from end of comb bevel to tip of cutter.
- Make sure the edge of the cutter does not go over the side of the comb.
- Make sure the tension is set correctly.

Laun D from Pennsylvania
Great comb, as usual. The packaging was awful! Just thrown in a plastic bag and into a box with no packing material.
Leslie R from Tennessee
Excellent comb for sheering sheep. It and the spitfire cutter went through my whole flock without getting dull.
Daniel B from Oregon
Great comb for starting out shearing to keep from cutting the sheep. I have moved up to the Apache, but the Spirit was great for starting out.
Walter C
We have used this item on some Premiere shears and had very good luck blocking out our show sheep. I especially like the light and manuverable quality of the shears for work around the leg area.

Confession: I've been caught by a red-light camera. It's pretty much the only smudge on an otherwise spotless driving record (although I'm not sure if that's a testament to my skills behind the wheel or just sheer luck). Either way, receiving a ticket in the mail from the city of Chicago with a close-up shot of my frazzled, late-to-an-interview face really stunk. Especially when it cost me $100 and I didn't even get the job.
While the effectiveness of red-light cameras is often up for debate, red-light running is one of the top causes of accidents, injuring over 165,000 people per year, killing hundreds, and costing about $7 billion in property damage, medical bills, and insurance increases.
A 2011 study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that large cities with red-light cameras saw a 24 percent decrease in fatalities caused by red-light runners. The fact that running red lights still accounts for 22 percent of traffic accidents makes the demise of red-light cameras seem pretty unlikely.
So, if red-light cameras are here to stay, let's take a look at how they actually work. What cues the cameras to snap that oh-so-flattering headshot of the driver, followed by a close-up of their license plate? Are they just endlessly snapping, hoping to catch rule-breakers in the act? Believe it or not, there's actually a lot of science behind those eyes in the sky.
The triggers
Although we've all noticed the ominous cameras keeping watch over our intersections, the process actually starts underground. While trigger technology varies, most red-light systems use induction loops buried in the asphalt. Induction loops are made by layering 2 electrical wires on top of each other in rectangular loops. The wires are connected to a power source that supplies electricity and a meter that measures the current running through the loops.
If you had the pleasure of sitting through physics class in your formative years, this should all sound pretty familiar. But in case you "missed that day" (or opted to take botany, ahem), the power source creates a magnetic field, sending a constant, measureable flow of electricity through the wires.
When the light turns red, the system turns on. The meter monitors the current in the wires, and if a massive hunk of metal rolls over those wires, the meter will detect the shift in electric flow. In order for the meter to send a signal to the computer operating the camera, the car must be traveling at a particular speed to avoid ticketing drivers who are simply stopped on top of the loop.
Caught on camera
Typically, red-light systems have cameras at all 4 corners of an intersection, ready to catch traffic violators at different angles. If the trigger sends a signal to the computer that a car has passed through the induction loop, the camera automatically starts snapping.
The first photo will show the car entering the intersection, while the second shot catches the driver passing through the crossroads, focusing on their license plate. The computer then records the date, time, intersection, speed, and elapsed time from when the light first turned red and attaches it to the image.
With the specifics of your slipup detailed on the photo, the police have all the evidence they need to look up your address, drop your photo and fine in an envelope, and send the little surprise your way.
"But I wasn't driving!"
So what happens if you receive a red-light camera ticket, but it's a case of mistaken identity (say, your good friend Adam was breaking the rules in your ride)? Like any other ticket, you have the right to contest the charges in court. Unfortunately, in some states, red-light cameras only capture the license plate. While you're still able to contest the ticket, you'll likely have a harder time proving it wasn't you.
If you can prove that the person behind the wheel wasn't you, a judge can decide to throw the ticket out, effectively saving you the fine, any points issued, and a possible jump in your insurance rate. (And if you're an Esurance policyholder, you can check out our handy What If® Calculator to see how a ticket or accident-related claim could impact your rates.)
The aftermath
Since paying my debt to the city of Chicago, I've been much more cognizant of the amount of time I need to make it through an intersection. The reality is I got off easy. Causing an accident and injuring myself or others would have been infinitely worse. Being punctual is great, but it's better to be a few minutes late and arrive in one piece.

Research and Development by Robert A. Cooke, Ph.D. and J. Clayton Lafferty, Ph.D.
The GSI quantifies interaction styles to show teams how they can work together more effectively and achieve synergy when solving problems—that is, to ensure that their interactive efforts have a greater impact than the sum of their individual efforts.
Designed for serious team-building programs, the group styles measured by the GSI are directly related to team effectiveness, solution acceptance, solution quality, and synergy. Used in conjunction with a group problem-solving simulation, the GSI provides significant practical insights into how a group functions, allowing the group to focus its efforts precisely on where improvement is needed.
GSI results illustrate individual members' perceptions, as well as the collective perspective of the team as a whole, of the degree to which 12 specific group styles emerged during a problem-solving activity. These 12 styles are grouped into three clusters—Constructive, Passive/Defensive, and Aggressive/Defensive. The results are displayed on the Circumplex, normed on the basis of hundreds of group members.

Graceville- Fire officials say they narrowly escaped a bad situation when responding to a 28 foot 5th- wheel camper fire off Highway 77 Tuesday.
Thankfully no one was injured, but the blaze did destroy the camper Nickolas Gore owned and was letting his brother live in for the past year. "At least it's not a loss of life or something" Gore said, surveying the charred remains.
He also knew in the midst of the unfortunate tragedy, he was lucky. All that separated his scorched camper from another trailer on his property was three feet, and a dozen hard fighting firemen.
"It was hard to get to and save the other one" explained Graceville Fire Chief, Tommy Dennis, "so we kept one cool and put the other one out. We would have been in a mess. It would have been hard to put out."
The blaze started around noon and within minutes responders from Graceville, Cottondale and Jackson County were on the scene. Gore said he was grateful for the quick response- but not nearly as appreciative as his other half was.
"It means a lot because my wife's got a lot of stuff in there that was her mother's. Sentimental stuff- we sure didn't want to loose it" Gore said.
"The fire's undetermined right now what caused it. It's a camper trailer, he ain't got no insurance, we're not going to call the Marshall" Dennis said.
And Gore's guess was as good as any. "It's an old trailer" he said. "It could have been faulty wiring or something. It could have been something got left on."
But a cause was not the only thing unknown. Gore's brother was at work when it happened, and would not find out until he returned to what used to be his home.
"We'll just do what we have to do" Gore said about breaking the news.
He told us with a little brotherly love, he'd be there to help pick up the pieces when his brother returned. "That's what families do. We'll figure something out."

The Green Gulag
Rising fuel prices can in no small part be attributed to environmental mania. Energy companies are not run by saints, but neither do they have an interest in pricing their product out of the reach of ordinary people. It's hard to sell home heat to the dead or the destitute. On the other hand environmentalists do indeed want to make it hard for ordinary to be able to afford to heat their homes. That's not a conspiracy theory. It's their policy.
Talk of using carbon credits for "super-energy efficiency" is an admission that a movement using dead seniors as a prop is actually pushing to make energy use as expensive as possible and to reduce its use as much as possible. The "Die In" crowd isn't for lowering energy prices, it's for adding more taxes that will benefit their own parasitic clean energy experts.
Say what you will about energy companies, but their business plan involves selling a product. The anti-energy environmentalists want to make it as expensive as possible. The costs of their policies are not just a talking point, but a grim reality.
The family that has to choose between feeding their children or being able to drive to work and heat their home is not a talking point; they are the new Kulaks, the victims of an ideological activist policy that is killing innocent people for the Green greater good of the environment.
Stalin killed millions to industrialize the Soviet Union, the Green Left is preparing to kill millions to deindustrialize North America, Europe and Australia. It's already doing it. While its activists are trying to peg the blame for fuel poverty fatalities on a government which is badly out of cash, it need look no further than its own activists and celebrities who preach the green life from their mansions.
Clear energy has become the new Communism, an ideological program that can never be achieved, but for which we must all strive no matter how many die all along the way. In Scotland, the perennially deranged Scottish National Party called for generating 100 percent of the country's electricity from wind, wave and tidal power by 2020.
This plan would add 900 pounds to the average fuel bill. And that is how fuel poverty gets started.
Wales, which has the highest fuel poverty rate in the UK, is working on one of Europe's largest wind farms and has a plan for total clean energy by 2025, if anyone is still alive and hasn't frozen to death. Wind farms don't tend to do too well in the cold and human beings don't do too well without heat.
The current "green" policies will see higher prices for two out of three homes in the UK by the end of the decade. It's not energy companies, but government policies that are responsible, especially when companies and homeowners get saddled with the cost of wind farms and various voodoo measures to fight global warming that mainly end up putting money in the pockets of well-connected Greenies.
Americans complaining about high gas and oil prices can buckle up because that is only a taste of what is coming this way. Two years ago UK petrol prices hit 6 pounds per gallon. That's nearly 10 dollars, though for the imperial gallon which is higher than the US gallon. If you think it costs a lot to fill up a tank now, consider that the UK has a better ratio of production to population than we do. The high prices aren't an accident, they're part of the green program.
The Obama agenda isn't to make energy prices affordable, it's to make them so horribly impossible to afford that we'll use less energy.
Fuel poverty is the agenda here and we know that's so because he told us so.
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say ok," he said. And, "If somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted. That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches."
That doesn't mean Obama can't heat the White House at 72 degrees or Hawaii level temperatures. It means that you can't do it. That's what fuel poverty really means. It means you have to freeze and if you die, then the community organizers of tomorrow will use your corpse as a prop in their ghoulish protests outside energy companies which have to not only cover all the clean energy boondoggles, but also take the blame for passing on the costs.
Every clean energy program comes with a rider for ending fuel poverty by 2015 or 2025 or 2255, which would be at least slightly more realistic, but it's the clean energy that's causing the fuel poverty. A program to create fuel poverty cannot be expected to prevent fuel poverty. A plan that makes energy use more expensive will not end fuel poverty, even with any amount of government subsidies.
The only thing that can end fuel poverty is cheap energy and that is what the left is dead set against.
Yet oddly enough there was a time when people were able to heat their homes and drive their cars, when they were even able to carry shopping bags, minus Wales' tax on shopping bags, and afford to eat. That brief golden period was stomped out by the friends of the working class, who knew how urgent it was to make life harsh and miserable and who are busy finding ways to make it even worse.
All this is for the greater good. Someone's greater good anyway.
Clean energy is supposed to make for energy independence, but since going green the UK has become a net energy importer. Scotland risks going the same way. Enough ideological investment in not-ready for prime time technologies leads to people freezing to death and purchases of energy from outside to cover the shortfall.
When all else fails, fake the figures. Promise impossible energy savings from energy efficiency. Obama's original stimulus plan focused heavily on energy efficiency in order to save money and create jobs. It accomplished neither goal, but the right people in the right companies got paid, which is how it always works.
Green is too big to fail, even when people are turning blue. The left from Prince Charlie to the Caliph of Chicago keep telling us that we have to make do with less and part of making do with less is shivering in homes without heat or the planet will be destroyed.
You can't make an energy efficient omelet without killing 8,000 or so people a year.
Progress doesn't just mean unsightly factories and people putting on suits and going to work in corporations and all the other things that the left despises. It means the technological progress to keep large numbers of people from dying.
If the US or the UK are to embrace the living standards of Africa as Prince Charles would like us to, they will also embrace its mortality rates. A reduction in the standard of living at this scale and on such a comprehensive level amounts to mass murder.
The Soviet Union killed millions for its ideology. The Western left has only begun and the day will come when a few thousand pensioners dead in their homes will be weighed as the smallest part of their toll.

The socialist French prefer to fry their elderly, what was the number from that heat wave a few years ago? Think it close to twenty thousand but that was just a one off. Well Daniel it is the Marxist way, get rid of the no longer useful using the elements. The cold is cheap and easy, with no smell afterwards.
Gnostic mass movements in various species such as Marxism, greenism always seem to attract the same type of altruistic sociopaths. Their method of purification inevitably demands the lives of others for sacrifice, why not ask a zealot why they want Africans to eat food cooked with excrement. When I ask the enthusiastic WWF kids in Toronto handing out pamphlets that question and use a more profane term well the smiles come off in a hurry.
They no longer want chaos capitalism or have much use for it since most of the heavy lifting has already been done, as the winners an losers can't be pre-determined. No what they want is the good old reliable poverty of authoritarianism, where they can sit on top and order the game. Having a scientific basis for it is the just the killer app of our time, the new koranic truth.

Welcome to my understanding of sustainability nuts Daniel.
A few years ago I dubbed the over 100 million murders and billions living in fear during the 20th Century as the Prog's Pilot Program.
What will you do to effectively monkey wrench their full scale project?

As a UK pensioner household we now only have a room temp of 60 F in our home. We cant afford to pay for a higher temperature but are constantly bombarded with leaflets on how to improve our energy efficiency. We have had loft insulation but like most UK homes built before WW2 have solid walls meaning we cannot use cavity wall insulation. The Government kindly offer us a 'low interest loan' to put on cladding on the walls & to replace our doors & windows with new double glazing. They inform us that they would 'pay for themselves' in under 20 years. We'll be lucky to live that long seeing that we can't afford to pay our energy bills let alone the initial outlay for this loan. Yes, we're victims of the AGW /green is good scam!

The end game for the whole "green" movement is the extinction of man from the planet. Whether or not the fools who promote "green energy" realize it or ever admit it, that is the only scenario the Greens will accept. They, however, wish to stick around to make sure man is extinct and doesn't appear again, although how they propose to do that and not "spoil" the planet, is a conundrum they can't explain.

Eco lunacy is also behind the current floods here in England, caused by a deliberate decision to stop dredging rivers and let them revert to their natural state. Mention fluffy words like wildlife and nature and people will think anything is a good idea… until it all goes pear shaped. Only now are politicians starting to think it might be a good idea to resume dredging, and Marxist Muppet Ed Milliband has seized on the deluge to bang the AGW drum. Many still believe that the best defence against floods is to make sacrifices to the Great Green Goddess Gaia – and what sacrifice could better placate the pitiless harridan than that of human lives.

Actually Edward Cline, the LEADERS of the global elites (of all stripes really) is not the EXTINCTION of all humans. While there are eco-activists that view that in the manner of a religious crusade, that is not the real goal.
No, the goal of the elites is the reduction of humanity down to a breeding population of only those numbers of slaves needed to maintain their global Plantation system. This number is somewhere between 500 million and 1 billion people in order to maintain a technological society sufficient for the wants and needs of the elites and the sustenance of their slaves.
They are convinced they only have a few decades to achieve their goal before sufficient resource depletion combines with too critical a mass of somewhat empowered peasants for them be able to successfully exterminate the excess of peasantry without the resulting conflict destroying the planet.

Yep. Screw the poor, we knew you couldn't afford any of this and we've priced it that way. Virtually every chirpy little TV blurb about solar energy features a home in the boondocks, a new build, that must have cost well over $1 million to build, let alone add all the eco crap,

Green energy policies broke the Spanish economy. That reality is taboo for the MSM.
Their (state) contract wholesale rate paid for solar juice boggles the mind: $ 0.50 per kW-Hr!
Madrid turned down, flat, the opportunity to import French juice at one-fifth the price -- which, BTW, would've been available 24/7. They 'knew better' than to import 'costly' atomic energy from the boys up north.
An astonishing amount of Madrid's debt revolves ENTIRELY around this solar mania.
Now that the bloom is gone, the largest German solar manufacturers have abandoned the business of PV arrays -- taking monster write downs. (Siemens, et. al.)
The fact is that Greens toss environmental sugar all over the countryside -- making the whole land diabetic.
This is what happens when you put superannuated teenagers in charge.
Perfectionism is the enemy of the good -- and of the living.

The Bear, you could have been reading my blog and gotten that, because I've written about it for years. But more than likely you came upon the same thing yourself. Everything you laid out -- like the half billion to one billion remnant -- can be found from many sources.
The thing is, once the mayhem has begun, good luck limiting it. And good luck avoiding a dark age darker than 600-1000AD.
See, the power-mad Progs and the Sustainability Progs have had mostly silent backing of misanthropic Progs who understand what those lesser nuts do not. Ruthlessness. Nihilism is not just for moronic schoolboys. Their hatred of humanity is of Biblical proportions and their motivation can be understood by understanding that the envy of God's power is what makes them this way. Since they cannot be God, they will all they can to obliterate His highest creation. Someone like Daniel here may understand this instinctively, but for any number of reasons unknown to us has not addressed it directly. As a young boy at Purim, he probably cranked his grogger energetically. Today: not so much.

Great article. Of course I have little sympathy for anyone who lived through the post war boom and who now has trouble heating their house. Terrible luck notwithstanding it didn't take a lot of effort to achieve financial safety over that time period. They voted for massive national debts to sustain the economy while they worked and when they retired they voted for eco-fascism "for our grandchildren".
Screw mum and dad, right? I mean, as long as that pension they voted for keeps coming in, having pissed their saving away and retired early regardless.
What poverty they endure before they pass is but a small portion of the suffering they owe.

Yes, yes it is like that Daniel. I worked for three years in the UK's "Energy Saving Trust", a quango funded by the laughable Department for Energy and Climate Change. I started off agnostic on the climate change debate, but left after all that time working in the "belly of the beast", convinced the whole green energy agenda it is a mendacious abuse of taxpayers and energy bill payers money, perpetuated by leftist ideologues.

What used to amaze me (but does so no longer because I'm now numb to it all) is the continual ignorance by the progs of a little thing called the Second Law of Thermodynamics, including the associated concepts of entropy and energy density. All these things are part of reality, which the progs deliberately ignore in their narrative-driven fantasyland where they overturn and replace God.
The Second Law unequivocally allows us to calculate with utter certainty that green energy can never replace oil, gas, coal, and nuclear forms, other than by some tiny percent. To try to do otherwise, especially by force, will mean a return both literally and figuratively to the dark ages, including massive suffering by most of the population.
Anyone who attempts to tell you otherwise, regardless of their background or apparent motivation, is simply peddling a monstrous lie.

For those who think this is about ideology, you may be too kind. Back at the beginning of our long nightmare, I remember reading that Valjar and others in her cartel wanted to open a carbon credit exchange, modeled after Wall St, in Chicago. Maybe the scam was too obvious, even for the O's, as far as I know, it never happened. The day I read that article was the day I knew climate change was just another fraud. Since then, Al Gore has proved it.

Wombat, I am a Boomer, trust me the 'post war boom' had many ups and downs for most of us. If you were a member of a national union, maybe, but a lot of us were not. What most of us had was a pretty solid work ethic and a belief in America.
'Stealing from our children' was not on the agenda, indulging them was the far more widespread practice. You sound like one of those children. Every generation gets big things wrong, yours will too, starting with saddling the rest of us with the 'gift' of Obama. Anyone even slightly dry behind the ears saw right through him.
Besides, blaming one's elders' for current problems is a loser attitude, they didn't get a perfect world either. They got The Bomb, the Iron Curtain, along with the iron lung for polio, and mumps, measles and sundry other horrors, like Viet Nam and the Draft..
Sorry to sound rude, but I was there, and I don't think you were.

I for one plan on rendering progs and their useful fools for their fat, which i will then transform into candles and lamp oils. The residual patchouli oil found upon them will also be harvested and re-sold to help fund efforts.
Are you all really just going to sit around and whine on the internet and wait for them to kill you slow? Organize. Arm. Prepare. Win.
Or don't. They will have their Social Darwinism, all costs be damned. Fine, these terms will simply have to be considered acceptable. I intend to show them that sometimes you really get what you've asked for.

Sophie, I'm not blaming anyone for my world. I'm making do with what I've got, and yes, you obviously can't tar everyone with the same brush, but that doesn't mean I've got to extend sympathy to the plight of the poor pensioner.
The term "they made their bed" springs to mind.
Me and mine are destined to live through what will be remembered as the darkest winter in the history of humanity, so a few freezing boomers who have lived a long and fruitful life invokes no pity in me at all.

Oh Wombat, It's a shame that reading history has become superfluous. "The darkest winter," etc.. Surely you jest.
