(Note: not all people who have anger management issues, or a superiority complex, or a combination of both, are conspiracy theorists, nor do all people that believe in conspiracy theories are people with anger management issues, or superiority complexes. This is just from my observations of the way conspiracy theorists act, especially towards people whom don't believe in their conspiracy theories.)
From my observations of conspiracy theorists, many of them seem to have two common factors:
First, is that they seem to be very, very sure of their theories,
And second, they become very, very angry when you tell them you don't believe, and sometimes even become irate when you present evidence that contradicts their beliefs.
It just seems to me that many conspiracy theorists have this combination of both being easy to piss off, and being very self righteous, and that those who disagree with them are always wrong, and/or less intelligent then they are.
For people whom have anger management issues, when things don't go their way, they will easily and quickly become hostile, and often times either not to accept responsibly for their own actions, or has misguided blame, and blames others for something that isn't that person's fault.
For people with a superiority complex, they often times have a negative view of those around them, and are either not concerned with the opinions of others, and believes that unless you share their own opinions, or beliefs, then your opinions and beliefs (or facts) are inferior, and irrelevant. They may also deep down inside actually feel inferior, and feel they have to assert their believed superiority over others.
Many conspiracy theorists I have come across appear to contain these traits. I have observed that they tend to go into long rants, in which they blame certain people (usually the rich and politicians) for all the bad things in the world (including imaginary bad things) and in their lives. When they're confronted by a person whom doesn't believe them, and even gives them actual facts that disprove their theories, they will continue to basically say the same thing over and over again, and often in a more hostile fashion, and either claim that the facts presented to them by a skeptic are either irrelevant, fake, or ignore the facts completely.
Some conspiracy theorists will make semi-threatening statements as well. They will tell the person they are arguing with that they are either a sheep, or that they are an actual dis-information agent, and that soon that "their time will come." This is basically a conspiracy theorist's way of telling a skeptic that at some point in time that they are going to end up being killed in some kind of revolution that they believe is coming, and is also a way to try to intimidate people into believing that, what in their minds is the truth, or silence them, because it just angers them to the point of rage that people don't believe them.
On their own, having anger problems, or having a self inflated ego, is not good.
Combining the two just might led a person to believe all sorts of crazy stuff.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – (April 2, 2014) – Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP (Chevron Phillips Chemical) held a groundbreaking ceremony for its U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) Petrochemicals Project at the Cedar Bayou plant in Baytown, Texas. The groundbreaking ceremony signifies the start of construction for the USGC project sparked by shale resource development. The USGC project includes a 1.5 million metric tons/year (3.3 billion pounds/year) ethane cracker to be built at the Cedar Bayou facility in Baytown, and two 500,000 metric tons/year (1.1 billion pounds/year) capacity polyethylene facilities to be built in Old Ocean, Texas.
The groundbreaking ceremony included local officials Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Jack Morman, Texas State Representative Wayne Smith and other elected representatives.
First, we want to thank our local community neighbors and government officials for their support over the years as we embark on this exciting growth for our company, the petrochemical industry and our country," said Peter L. Cella, president and chief executive officer of Chevron Phillips Chemical. The project will support 400 long-term direct jobs and 10,000 engineering and construction jobs. The estimated completion date for the USGC Petrochemicals Project is in 2017.
"As we've carefully planned this project, we've leveraged our first mover advantage to attract the strongest workers from each of the contract companies working on the project and together we will be successful," said Cella. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) phase of the ethane cracker project will be executed through a joint venture between JGC (USA), Inc. and Fluor Enterprises, Inc., while Gulf Coast Partners, a partnership between Technip USA Inc. and Zachry Industrial, Inc., will execute EPC for the two new polyethylene facilities. Chevron Phillips Chemical will host a groundbreaking for the polyethylene units on June 17.
Chevron Phillips Chemical breaks ground on its U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) Petrochemicals Project at the Cedar Bayou plant in Baytown, Texas.

Henrik at John Varvatos Party
Sunday, September 12, 2010
In past interviews, I believe it was the Gilt Man interview, Henrik has said that he loves John Varvatos brand as they have great jackets. So it's no surprise that Henrik was invited and showed up to the 10th anniversary party.
Look at him! I love that leather jacket. Doesnt' he look so good? He's just killing me here! I swear the Bond franchise needs to hire Henrik. Damn, he looks good in anything.
And here's a closeup of his blue/gray eyes and that beautiful jacket! He definitely needs a motorcycle with that jacket. OMG he's gorgeous!

South Carolina has experienced rapid growth in the last 30 years, much of it from retirees seeking a warmer climate and lower cost of living. As more and more baby boomers begin to retire that trend is certain to continue. Retirees have been moving into all parts of the state, the area in the southwest low country, but near Hilton Head has experienced the most explosive growth.
South Carolina's population is growing. Some of that growth is coming from retirees entering the state. Obviously the housing market crash has impacted sales and prices in 55+ and active adult communities in SC, but probably less so than for the housing market in general. For the record, South Carolina has an income tax maximum rate of 7%, people over 65 get some significant exemptions.
Thanks to the great success of Hilton Head Island as a vacation and retirement spot, the entire southwestern area of the state is now a retirement hot bed. Part of the attraction is the many rivers and bays are in the area, making waterfront living possible for many people at somewhat reasonable prices. Here we will take a look at the various areas near Hilton Head.
Bluffton. This is a much nicer town, located on a bluff overlooking the May River. In this old town near the river you can discover art and antique galleries and the Riverfront Pocket Park and Garden. The area is famous for its Bluffton oysters, and in town the oldest continuous oyster-shucking facility in South Carolina is a local attraction. Bluffton also hosts a number of active adult communities, including some huge ones.
Beaufort. Just north of Hilton Head is another classic southern town, Beaufort. Horse-drawn carriages roll along streets in the town's charming historic district that are overhung with Spanish moss. The area offers a laid back atmosphere that most people find very relaxing. Beaufort has 304 acres of the town designated as a National Historic Landmark. Many active adult communities radiate from town.
Other Towns in the region. The region is dotted with active adult communities to explore. Some of the other small towns in the Southwest Low Country include Laurel Bay, Burton, and Shell Point.
What People Like about this area of SC:
- Mild winter climate
- Being near the coast, bays, and rivers
- Cachet and prestige of Hilton Head
- Brand new,master-planned developments
- Outstanding recreation such as golf, tennis, fishing, boating
- Many of the towns are charming
This part of SC is definitely one of the best retirement regions in the world. For more information on apartments in Beaufort, SC contact Ashton Pointe.

We have a multi Language application, not oly for pages and labels but also for stored information. On our SERVICODE object we have a code like A4009 and we have three fields on the description of that code and also one search field of each code. (We use 1 base language and 2 other languages; Dutch and French.) Now when we use this code in an orderline two things should happen:
1. Is we search for a code the description-search field of the servicecode object is shown, only one field shows up that is ok, but it is the base language field; I would need the french/dutch field information (depending on the users language setting)
2. When a code is choosen we have a trigger that fills the description field of the orderline; we would need the description of the servicecode-object in the language that is connected to the user, but the system only gives me the base language.
Can somebody please clarify and hand out a solution, thanks in advance;
Regards Wim
In V4.4, we are making improvements to the API to support additional language. If you have an account on EAP.rollbase.com, you could try these now and let us know if these changes are sufficient for your need.

Jamaica facing defeat
Defiant batting from Shivnarine Chanderpaul and another shoddy batting display by Jamaica Franchise put Guyana Jaguars in prime position to win their top-of-the-table four-day West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Professional Cricket League match at Sabina Park.
The 40-year-old Chanderpaul, playing in his 337th first-class match, scored his 129 half-century, a typically patient 77 off 184 balls as the Jaguars, resuming on 54 for four overnight, went on to post 202 in their second innings.
This gave them an overall lead of 339, and at stumps on yesterday's penultimate day, Jamaica, who scored 177 in their first innings, were reeling at 105 for six, 234 runs in arrears, with four wickets in hand.
The Guyanese had Chanderpaul - who was last man out caught behind after farming the batting - to thank for their impressive position, with only two other batsmen passing 20 in their second innings. Leon Johnson made 33 and all-rounder Chris Barnwell 28.
three for 51
Jamaica's bowling was led by young seamer, Marquino Mindley, who ended with three for 51. There were two wickets each for Damion Jacobs, fellow leg-spinner Odean Brown, and all-rounder David Bernard Jr.
Set a daunting total, Jamaica struggled from the get-go, and with only 17 runs on the board, were three wickets down.
Opener John Campbell was the first to go when he was caught at point playing a cut shot for eight; followed by Nkrumah Bonner, leg before wicket off the bowling of pacer Keon Joseph for one; and Jermaine Blackwood, caught at cover, also off the bowling of Joseph, for seven.
Captain Tamar Lambert and Horace Miller then staged a brief recovery with a 33-run fourth-wicket stand before Miller was caught for seven.
Lambert was caught off the bowling of leg-spinner Davendra Bishoo for 29, while Carlton Baugh Jr, after facing four deliveries, was adjudged leg before wicket. Jacobs, 24 not out and Bernard Jr, 16 not out, will resume batting today when play resumes at 10 a.m.
The impressive Joseph, bowling at good pace, took two for 20.

8(a) Business Development Program http://www.sba.gov/8abd/
What are the basic requirements a concern must meet for the 8(a) BD program?
· Generally, a concern meets the basic requirements for admission to the 8(a) BD program if it is a small business which is unconditionally owned and controlled by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals who are of good character and citizens of the United States, and which demonstrates potential for success.
What is socially disadvantaged?
· Members of designated groups. (1) There is a reputable presumption that the following individuals are socially disadvantage: Black Americans; Hispanic Americans; Native Americans (American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, or Native Hawaiians); Asian Pacific Americans (persons with origins from Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Japan, China (including Hong Kong), Taiwan, Laos, Cambodia (Kampuchea), Vietnam, Korea, The Philippines, U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Republic of Palau), Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana islands, Guam, Samoa, Macao, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, or Nauru); Subcontinent Asian Americans (persons with origins from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands or Nepal); and members of other groups designated from time to time by SBA according to procedures set forth at paragraph (d) of this section. Being born in a country does not, by itself, suffice to make the birth country and individual's country of origin for purposes of being included within a designated group.
What is economically disadvantaged?
· Net worth. For initial 8(a) BD eligibility, the net worth of an individual claiming disadvantage must be less than $250,000. For continued 8(a) BD eligibility after admission to the program, net worth must be less than $750,000. In determining such net worth, SBA will exclude the ownership interest in the applicant or participant and the equity in the primary personal residence (except any portion of such equity which is attributable to excessive withdrawals from the applicant or participant). Exclusions for net worth purposes are not exclusions for asset valuation or access to capital and credit purposes.
Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) http://www.sba.gov/sdb/
What are the basic requirements a concern must meet for the SDB program?
· Qualifications for the program are similar to those for the 8(a) Business Development Program. A small business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by a socially and economically disadvantaged individual or individuals.
· African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, Subcontinent Asian Americans, and Native Americans are presumed to quality. Other individuals can qualify if they show by a "preponderance of the evidence" that they are disadvantaged.
· All individuals must have a net worth of less than $750,000, excluding the equity of the business and primary residence. Successful applicants must also meet applicable size standards for small businesses in their industry.

Description of the book "By What is Sure to Follow":Ex-Marine Force Recon Luke Sims is a veteran of two wars: Vietnam and the one inside his head. He's spent the last fourteen years attending self-help group sessions at a local Veterans' Center to help him be normal, to cope with the memories and trauma of his tour of duty. On the outside he seems fine. But looks can deceive and it's not long before Luke goes to war with his incredible skill set against his inner demons and the depth of his pain is at last revealed-with deadly consequences. Based on real in-country PDF legendary events of uncommon valor, unbelievable luck and supreme dedication to brethren, By What Is Sure To Follow dramatically follows one veteran's path, chronicling unknown exploits into North Vietnam during the early years of the Vietnam War. With stark realism, it reveals the potentially devastating aftereffects of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) on those who go to war and painfully decries the failure of a nation to protect and heal its warriors when they come home broken."

Three Educational Benefits of Cooking with Kids
Cooking with kids is a parents dream to be able to due. I know that as
a little girl I would stand in the kitchen and try to help my mom out
with the cooking as best as I possibly could, but normally ended up
getting in the way. However, that time that I had as a child cooking
with my mom or watching her cook put a great love for cooking in my
heart. Now that I have children of my own though I have discovered the
many educational benefits of cooking with kids and thought I would
share some of them with all of you.
The first educational benefit that I have found from cooking with kids is that since cooking normally involves measurement of some type they start to learn about the various measurements that are in use which helps them out in math and other subjects that require measurement. Not only are they helped in learning the measurements of the various items it also helps teach them about sizes that are involved in measurement for instance your children will learn exactly what one cup is when compared to two cups of milk.
The second educational benefit is that my kids have an easier time learning about time. Now I am sure that if you cook anything at all then you realize that you have to have some form of time management to ensure that the meal will be done at the proper time and that the food isn't going to be overcooked. So this will help your kids learn how to tell the time for the timing of the food so that they do not burn their own food.
The third educational benefit of cooking with kids is that they will start to gain self confidence in what they are able to do. Now this is very important because at times kids can be influenced just like adults into a lower confidence level, but if your kids succeed in the kitchen at helping you cook or cooking themselves then they can gain confidence that they are able to complete the tasks that are put before them.
While many people do not realize that educational benefits are available while cooking with kids I know that from my own experience and cooking with my own kids that many educational benefits do exist. Not only can you find some great educational benefits from cooking with kids you can also learn more about your kids and hopefully that can help you head off any behavioral problems that could come up or help them in trusting you so that if they do have problems they can come to you instead of getting in trouble.

Share Your Kids Cooking Experiences
Great hub! I have enjoyed sharing the cooking experience in the kitchen with each of my kids from the time they were about two years old. All three love to cook and can now make some meals by themselves. May this hub inspire other parents to invite their children into the kitchen.
My older kids (almost 10 and 7) are actually quite helpful in the kitchen, and I think that's because I've let them "help" all along. My 3 year-old tries, and I know she's really benefitting from seeing the work and caring that goes into cooking for a family of 6. I'm determined that my kids, particularly my sons, will learn to cook so they can be self-sufficient! Great hub!
All so true! I loved the time I spent with my mother in the kitchen.
And what can be better than teaching children about nutrition - perhaps they won't be so easily tricked into eating all the empty calorie garbage we call food - that's being being fed to them.
Food is everything!
How great it would be if we remember that we are here to teach our children not be their servants.
Thanks for this hub!

Thunderbird, KMail, cannot read mutt's sent folder
ProblemWhen opening mutt's sent mail mbox folder with another mailer reader, strange entries appear. The "From" header seems to be truncated. The problem is that mutt doesn't escape lines that start with "From" and are consequently misinterpreted as the beginning of a new email.
Keywordsmutt, sent, folder, From, header, thunderbird, kmail.
SolutionUse maildir.
Otherwise, use the ruby script below. It reads an mbox on stdin and spits out the same mbox on stdout, with all non-header lines that start with From prefixed by a ">" character. (It is smart enough not to quote the "From:" line of forwarded emails.)
Use at your own risk.

Manslaughter for woman who shot lawyer boyfriend
An Oakland woman has been convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of her boyfriend, an attorney in a prominent East Bay criminal defense firm, a prosecutor said Friday.
Rennie Pratt, 29, had been charged with murder in the 2009 slaying of 36-year-old Michael Porcella. An Alameda County jury convicted her Thursday of voluntary manslaughter and an enhancement for using a gun.
She faces a sentence of anywhere from three to 21 years in prison when Judge Morris Jacobson sentences her June 24.
Pratt was in the house she shared with Porcella at 3740 Laguna Ave. in Oakland's Dimond district when she shot him at about 11:30 p.m. April 10, 2009, as he was arriving home.
"He was outside on the porch when he was shot," said prosecutor Jill Nerone. "I hoped the jury would view the evidence as a premeditated murder while lying in wait."
The jury, however, acquitted Pratt of murder. She testified that she had accidentally shot her boyfriend as she was trying to unload the weapon.
The killing was the culmination of a number of domestic disputes involving the couple, authorities said. Police were previously called to the home, but no arrests were ever made.
The jury ruled out the accidental-discharge theory but could not dismiss the possibility of "imperfect self-defense," in which someone overreacts and attacks a perceived aggressor when in fact the target intends no harm, the prosecutor said.
Porcella worked in the Oakland law firm of Robert Beles. He graduated from St. Mary's College in Moraga and earned his law degree from Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco. He was admitted to the State Bar in 2006.

Levi Johnston Apologizes for 'Youthful Indiscretion'
Levi Johnston has apologized for speaking out after he broke up with the mother of his child, Bristol Palin.
"Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry," Levi told People. "Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true. I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize."
Levi, 20, had alleged that Sarah Palin had complained about her job as Governor of Alaska and that a split for Sarah and husband Todd was likely.
Bristol added, ""Part of co-parenting is creating healthy and honest relationships between the parents. Tripp one day needs to know the truth and needs to know that even if a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it."

My dog Susie says
My vacation from "barking"
My Big Mommy grew up in Europe where they take every August off for an extended vacation. So, I decided to follow in her footsteps and take a break from barking about my adventures, politics, animal issues, celebrities or anything else that really bugs me for the next month. This is my last blog until after Labor Day, and I really hope everybody has a wonderful and robust rest of the summer!
I'll leave you with a few tips on feeding your dog healthy foods in addition to their usual "dog food". Remember that dogs, just like humans are omnivores, which means we like meat and plants.
Fresh Fruits are fine if it's apples, bananas (contrary to rumors), oranges or watermelon. Be sure to remove the seeds for easier digestion.
Meats should be lean only and thoroughly cooked leaving the bones suitable for treats. (But never never chicken bones)
3. Cooked rice is a great food and inexpensive as well. I recommend brown rice only.
4. Vegetables are great treats including carrot sticks, green beans and cucumber slices.
Because I travel so much with my Big Mommy and Daddy, I thought I'd leave you with some tips on helping your pet survive his stay in a "Doggie Motel" if you don't take them with you.
1. Find a boarding facility that you're comfortable with and that your friends have recommended.
Take your dog there a few times for a few minutes before you actually leave them there. This allows them to acclimate themselves to their new temporary home. Give them a treat.
Walk them around the grounds allowing them to smell their new surroundings. Give them a treat!
4. After returning from your vacation when you pick up your pet from the doggie motel give them a treat, but try not to make a big deal out of reuniting with them. It's hard I know, but it really helps your dog if it seems normal, and that you just left a few hours ago. Everyone, of course, will be very happy to see each other.
Lastly, for all of you that feel like you might need a little more inspiration in your life watch the video below entitled, "Doggy Dancing." I watch this with Big Mommy at least a couple of times every few months when we need a few laughs! Also, the canine star of the video looks exactly like moi!
Catch you later in a month or so…
Susie and Sandy
P.S. "Dogs are not our whole lives but they make our lives whole."

Murder is no test of masculinity. There are macho alternative cultures full of justice and integrity
Murder is no test of masculinity. There are macho alternative cultures full of justice and integrity
|Article appearing in the Cape Argus, 22 April 2014
The film got me thinking on rites of passage for boys in other cultures. On a recent work trip to Japan, I went to the local budokan (martial arts training hall) to train with the judo club. At the budokan, the teacher, a man in his seventies informed me that the word budo in budokan is the samurai version of the knightly code of chivalry. It includes qualities such as justice, benevolence, integrity, honor and discipline. He said that judo means the 'gentle-way.' This didn't mean that it wasn't devastatingly effective, but rather that it was an art of sublimating raw aggression in a way that elegance overcomes bluster.
I was amazed at how activities at the budokan seemed like a culturally rooted rite of passage for young men. Teachers taught various techniques all requiring courage, persistence and trust and performed with deadly earnest. The members were constantly reminded that they are entrusted with each other's safety and their focus should be on aggressive play rather than winning at all costs.
At the budokan, to be a man was to epitomize budo. On the mat the young men threw, grappled, locked and choked with unmatched fury but lacked the meanness and cruelty symptomatic of frustrated aggression. Even in the heat of combat, they displayed a sense of fair play and concern for each other's safety. The few women members I spoke with said that not once did they feel uncomfortable or violated when training with the men. Instead they felt supported and their boundaries respected without any gratis concessions.
My experience at the budokan reminded me of a time several years ago when I acted as a lawyer for the Samburu. The Samburu are pastoralists who roam the dusty and drought prone plains of the lion infested Rift Valley province in Kenya. What intrigued me was despite their indifference to lions, as dusk approached the Samburu would hurry back to their kraals. I was also curious about the phenomenon where many of the Samburu men had AK 47s slung across their backs, an incongruity among pastoralists. On asking, I was told that they were concerned about cattle raiders who had killed a number of young men recently.
Apparently, the Samburu tribes have always had a rite of passage, where an adolescent to be recognized as a man in his tribe, had to steal cattle from another tribe. Cattle raids were conducted according to cultural norms that prohibited killing and gratuitous violence. No tribe lost out on their cattle since they always stole back cattle from another tribe. Moreover cattle raids ensured peace by creating camaraderie and competition among the young men of different tribes. This rite was designed to help boys channel their aggression as they entered manhood. I had witnessed similar such rites to manhood amongst various indigenous peoples I had worked with.
However the civil war in neighbouring Somalia had introduced AK47's into this mix. Cattle raiders, owing no allegiance to any tribe, used it as a weapon of choice. They roamed the Rift Valley, killing wantonly on their raids, and raided cattle not as a cultural practice, but for sale. In self- defence the Samburu men, had taken to arming themselves, leading to dangerous times where minor conflicts could spiral out of control.
I came away from Kenya feeling that the Samburu were on to something. They had developed a rite of passage that embraced and directed youthful aggression to the service of the community. Though a long way off from rural Kenya, I had witnessed a similar sublimation of aggression at the budokan. Youthful aggression was expressed in its most elemental form, at the level of the body, and then molded into the high art of budo. The initiation to manhood in both these cultures involved ritualized aggression at the level of the body. The rituals initiated boys into a manhood that embodied authentic self- expression while caring for others.
These cross-cultural rites of passage bring us back to the questions posed by Four Corners. They ask for an honest discussion in South Africa on mature masculinity and how we raise boys. They force a conversation on wholesome rites of passage for boys, which replace gangs and positively channel youthful aggression in a dangerous age of gender, gang and xenophobic violence.
The natural fierceness of many men today seems to be infected with an anemic desperation symptomatic of both rampant unemployment and soul-destroying urban service jobs. We are witnessing a rise in overgrown boys who listlessly roam the streets, Internet and malls unsure of what they are seeking but yearning to feel alive. At times their bottled up aggression makes them bullies who do appalling things to their families, neighbors and communities.
We will probably never be rid of this aggression. Instead in the tradition of that old master of sublime aggression, Madiba, we must cultivate rites of passage that transform this unrefined energy into something majestic. We need to transcend insecure machismo and wear our masculinity with the dignity of a warm cloak that nurtures.

The Project complements legal strategies with psychosocial interventions that include rites of passage programs. Lesle can be contacted at lesle (at)naturaljustice.org.za.

My problem with paganism
Number one. Although I have found the idea of a providentially guided purpose both in creation and in history no easy sell to myself, I resist the assumption that all forms of paganism share: Impersonal Fate rules all, including the Gods. (Dharmic religions share much of this, but karma makes this impersonal fate obsessed with isomorphic justice via reincarnation.) Here is where the Christian part of my post-Christian self rears its baptized head. For me, a world ruled finally by impersonal fate is no different from the world of Richard Dawkins.
Ironically, the ancient Romans considered the Christians atheists because they rejected the Gods; I consider modern pagans atheists because they subject their Gods to an overarching and ultimate...Nothing. Although I sympathize with the cultural crises that drives or brings some men to a recreated form of ancestral paganism --be it Norse, Slavic, Celtic or GrecoRoman-- in the end I really wonder if men whose souls, like it or not, have been shaped by a thousand years of Christ can worship what amount to Godlings without finally falling into nihilism.
Second, despite the usually rightwing attitudes of Norse neo-pagans, the sacred history they tell is infected with a bitter sense of victimhood against the Church. Sore losers in the leftist mode.
And as I point out, all the ills which these Alt-Right guys hate in contemporary Western civilization are post-Christian. While Whites were Christian and in power, none of the plagues of liberalism had a toehold. Which is why Liberals hate Christianity, the religion of patriarchy and the alliance of throne and altar, of imperialism and the Crusades, etc. etc. All stuff that Alt-Right pagans love.
But really, my issue is that this rage against Christianity effectively cuts them off from the blood-ties of many generation of baptized Europeans and forces them to see all their Christian ancestors and most of Western civilization in the last 1500 years either as the realm of deluded slaves who worshipped "a kike on a stick" or traitorous collaborators with "the alien Semitic bronze age desert god." How can there be a Western tradition when a millennium and a half of it is consigned to Hell?
I have recently and dolefully come to the conclusion that western Christianity can no longer safely serve the souls of White men and so I am musing on a future alternative. It's fascinating to run up against my own assumptions and to face new ways of thinking in doing this. But the religion of the Christ once did serve us: Christendom was a great and powerful civilization full of warriors and explorers and thinkers and builders and artists, etc. So my goal, for whatever micron it's worth, is to connect rather than to amputate and to promote realistic dignity rather than disguised despair.
Modern paganism, running on the white-hot fires of resentment, gives a jolt to some of our men who need it and there is much about these guys to admire. But I don't see how in the long run it can suffice.
3 comments:
From what I've gathered, the right-wing pagans see Christianity as the root cause of our current problems. They may be on to something: nobody in the West before Paul ever espoused that men and women, freemen and slaves, and members of different ethnic groups could share any level of parity, nor did the idea that everybody had to be held to the same standard of behavior ever really crop up. Some pretty basic assumptions of modern Western thinking originated with Christianity.
I too have problems with the idea of inexorable fate. If our reactions to situations are simply the result of chemical reactions that we have no control over, and we are just passengers in our bodies that cannot truly take action against the events of life, what is the point? Nihilism is the inevitable end result. But I have a different conception of fate. To me, fate is the stimuli that we are forced to react to and which we have no control over, the equivalent of billiard balls rolling around the table and bouncing off of each other. We may not be able to affect any change over a volcano, or even another human being, but we are able to decide how to react to these events.
If there is any hope, it lies in some cultural and religious offspring of right-paganism and traditional Catholicism/Orthodoxy. What such a culture and religion would look like is beyond me, but I hope that it is not an impossible marriage.

Another view of the pagan.
Paganism is not a particular set of dieties (Greek, Norse, etc.). It is the claim that the universe is natural. It is the claim that while there are beings in the natural universe more powerful than humans they are subject to natural laws (and human failures). It is the claim that nature provides models for beauty, truth, strength, morals, law and similar human needs / drives.
In contrast is the transcendent. The transcendent is the view that there is a natural universe but there is also an outside / above the natural universe. Heaven and hell, spirit realms, that sort of thing. And in that outside / above are beings that are not subject to natural laws, not subject to human failures, and that our models of beauty, truth, strength and the rest come from these beings and not the natural universe.
The Abrahamic deity, particularly in earlier days, played both pagan and transcendent roles. In modern times that deity is mostly considered transcendent. Protestant Christianity is especially thick with transcendence.
Deriving truth from the natural workings of the universe is pagan, and this is also a description of science. This is the cause of some of the tension between religion and science. Religion is mostly transcendent, so wants to find answers outside the natural universe. Science looks only at the natural universe, and sometimes gets good answers. Religion can't ignore those good answer. The success of science pushed religion more into the transcendent - if the reason for rainbows wasn't God's promise but the refraction of light, then God made the refraction of light. The transcendent God gets pushed further away.
The transcendent doesn't make sense to me, either in a rational / fact / evidence way or in an aesthetic / tradition way. And while the natural universe informs my sense of truth, beauty and strength, it does not determine it. I don't think the 'ought' can be derived from the 'is.'

Nihilism: The disbelief in greater meaning to aspects of life (HUMAN LIFE IS SACREEEEED)
Fate: Predetermined courses of Nature
Destiny: Personal course of the body and soul
Nihilism has its place. Some things just are not greater in meaning than what they are. Fate and Destiny are two different things that are a lot like Dharma and Karma and only events are set in stone, rarely outcomes. However, these three things are incomplete. The Pagans were grim people who had to live in a grim world. Their higher truths and higher planes were not about nature at all but, a part of it at a refined scale. The Gods were ancestors who created the cultures of their People, who themselves came from others before them. This is where the term Goth comes from: the Children of the Gods. They did indeed believe in a sentient balance and a God above all things. They were just more pantheistic about it. The act of calling it God is much more a Celtic trend than a Semitic one, all Semites having many names for the one true and almighty God in their faith.
Catholicism was so much more the completion of European Paganism than it was the completion of Judaism. That is why, at the end of the day, the Claudites converted. One question, though: Was Christ, in fact, a Jew? There is so much circular back talk about Christ being a Galilean. Nuns and Priests on the internet saying: "Yes, he was a Galilean but....that doesn't matter because Mary was Jewish so he was Jewish." Well, wasn't Nazarene a Galilean city, then? Would that not lend the likelihood that Christ was Greek? Whether he was or he wasn't, modern Christianity has lost what the Pagans knew for certain and so, its foundation has crumbled. Being a Jew, however, calls for another Savior. There are too many frictions that come with a Savior who is foreign to His worshipers, even if His story and His right to judge us makes so much sense.

Signs Of Last Hour | The First Sign (Present)Bismillah Hir Rehman Ir Raheem
Start In the Name Of Allah The Most Beneficent The Most Merciful
Like us on facebook:
Narrated Anas: When the news of the arrival of the Prophet at Medina reached 'Abdullah bin Salam, he went to him to ask him about certain things, He said, "I am going to ask you about three things which only a Prophet can answer: What is the first sign of The Hour? What is the first food which the people of Paradise will eat? Why does a child attract the similarity to his father or to his mother?" The Prophet replied, "Gabriel has just now informed me of that." Ibn Salam said, "He (i.e. Gabriel) is the enemy of the Jews amongst the angels. The Prophet said, "As for the first sign of The Hour, it will be a fire that will collect the people from the East to the West. As for the first meal which the people of Paradise will eat, it will be the caudate (extra) lobe of the fish-liver. As for the child, if the man's discharge proceeds the woman's discharge, the child attracts the similarity to the man, and if the woman's discharge proceeds the man's, then the child attracts the similarity to the woman."This Hadith tells another sign however prior to explanation the Hadith states that "As for the first Sign" we know that first sign of Last Hour is birth of Prophet Muhammad or splitting of the Moon. The signs of Last Hour have been categorized into Past, Present and Future. Thus for this Hadith the statement first sign might be indicated towards the sign that will occur in the present that is after the completion of signs indicated in past. The fire here is metaphorically used to indicated an object or action that will collect people of east and west in one place. The fire usually burn things quickly and turn it into ashes. Thus the statement fire can be referring to as Internet and social apps which helps to collect people in a single platform. There are thousands of people on internet from East and West collected in a single platform. Due to internet the use of interest, rise of illegal sexual intercourse, etc has increased. Thus saying this prophesy is the first among the present signs will not be wrong.
[Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 275]
And Allah knows the best. And Allah knows the best. Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is only ones. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Lean, clean, and bluesy (look at the lite-brite on the jacket of Cosmo's Factory)
Cheers to all for the weekend: It's Mike
That's a LOT of hair being shaken!
Jack you're killing me.
Here Iam watching the great video of CCR & JF belting it out and I notice the next blog entry. Pernsteiner's quiting, why? As Mr Fogarty says it all "don't let the man git you" I thinks he got got by da man. LMAO.
Thanks , have a great weekend for sure.
Born on the Bayou is CCR's best original song in my opinion. A commenter above mentioned high school bands. I have been out of high school since 1985 and I was just learning this one on guitar LAST WEEK. The music is powerful and lasting.
Check out their best cover, I Heard It Through the Grapevine:
There's a 10-minute version of the song with an incredible John Fogerty solo on Youtube but I couldn't get it to work on my phone.
It's a great jam, along the lines of wonderful, older "Suzie Q."
Ha ha, I looked like the drummer back then.
Great song.
Fond memories, thanks Jack!
Did you also play the drums then?
You certainly keep the beat going here on critical issues.
I like your persistence.

Helping Kids Orgraning Their Own Toys
To organize my girls smaller toys, I filled see through bins with the toys, took a picture with my digital camera of one or two of the items that were inside (for example) jewelry or little people. Then printed the pictures out on the computer. Then using contact paper I attached the pictures to the outside of the tub.

Someone I know, that's a single mom, has her kids color coordinated. Each kid has picked their favorite color and they have their own bath towels and wash cloths, clothes baskets and their own clothing hangers. So when Mom's not at home, they can find their own laundry to take to their rooms to put up or to shower with. She said this helps her out a whole lot. Maybe this could help you out, too.

Teaching Frugality To Children
One thing we have done in trying to teach our children to be frugal as well as teaching them the value of a dollar is to have them each deposit 1/2 of their paycheck from their part-time jobs into a savings account. It's an encouragement to them to see it grow as well as teaching them some frugality when they only have 1/2 of their paycheck to spend for the time between pay periods. You would be surprised how far my daughters can make $50 go!

Teaching Teens the Value of Money
By Rachel Paxton
It isn't easy raising teens in today's materialistic society. The older they get, the more expensive the things they want or think they need. If they don't learn how to manage their money at a young age, they won't be able to make it in the real world.

Here's a great project for children just learning to write. Make a Time Capsule. Have the child write their name or ABCs on a piece of paper and date it. Roll the paper and place in a paper towel tube. You can decorate the tube with paints, markers or fabric. Tape the ends closed and use a pen to mark a date to be opened. The start of the school year is a good time to do this project and have the kids open it on the last day of school. They'll be able to see how much their handwriting has improved and will have a real sense of pride and accomplishment at their progress.

Don't waste good money on diaper genie's and special diaper disposal systems. Start saving the plastic bags that newspapers come in and when you have a stinky diaper, put it in the newspaper bag, tie a knot and put it right in the regular trash. Make sure to carry some in the diaper bag also for when you are out.

Keeping Track Of Your Sippy Cups
When taking my daughter to church or other outings, there were always people there with her same kind of sippy cup. I hated to write on the actual cup with a permanent marker so I used my label maker to print out her name and placed it on the lid of the cup. The label stays on even in the dishwasher so it lasts until it starts to fade and then I replace it with a new one.

Use Hand Cut-outs To Teach Numbers
To teach my little ones the concept of numbers I did the normal counting beans and other objects. A fun thing we did as a craft and a lesson was this. We traced both hands on construction paper and cut them out. Then we traced these several times and cut them out. I would have the child take one cut-out hand, and show me how many fingers we needed for the number one. They would use their glue stick to glue down the other fingers just as we do when we hold up one finger. It was so cute watching them figure out which fingers to glue down and how to do it. When we got to the numbers six thru ten they really had to think because they had to figure out which pair of hands they needed.When they had met the challenge we tacked their work on their personal bulletin board.

Tips for Encouraging Children to Write
By Deborah Shelton
Want to encourage your child's love of writing? Or inspire one who would rather do anything but write? The answer may be as simple as finding the right pen. Just as your child may have had a security blanket or an impossibly dirty teddy bear that she refused to let you kidnap to the dark recesses of the washing machine, she may need a special writing tool that's all her own.

It is really true what they say about some of us being sight learners and hearing learners and some of us use our hands to learn. If your child is having a hard time with their ABCs and 123's try this trick. Get your self an ABC stencil. Trace around the letters onto sandpaper and cut them out. Now run your child's finger around the letter as if you were writing the letter, This really seems to work for tactile kids.

Protecting Your Children On The Internet
By Darren Miller
If you are a parent, as am I, I think we can agree there is little else more important than keeping our children safe and protected. It's difficult enough keeping them safe from the unscrupulous people we read about in the news, but dealing with children and the Internet takes it to a completely new level.

Get the Kids Outside!
By Rae Pica
Think back to your own childhood. Chances are, some of your fondest memories are of outdoor activities and places. Perhaps you had a favorite climbing tree or secret hiding place. Maybe you remember jumping rope or learning to turn cartwheels with your best friend or playing fetch with the family dog. Do you recall the smell of lilacs, the feel of the sun on the first day warm enough to take off your jacket, or the taste of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich eaten on a blanket in the park? Did you enjoy lying on your back and finding creatures in the clouds?

"Pushy" Deaf Kid's Mom

There are some things that we as persons, born on this planet, have no control over. Our own birth defects are included in that scenario. While there are those who believe that we ourselves choose what obstacles we must face and overcome in this life, prior to our earthly birth, I am not one who buys that. I did not choose to be born deaf.

What Does Baby Really Need?
By Brandie Valenzuela
When it comes to what you "must have" for your new baby, everyone has an opinion. If you don't think so, just ask around. Your mother, mother-in-law, best friend, and neighbor will all have a different list. Sure, some of the items in their lists might be similar, but you will notice that for the most part, they are vastly different.

Why Did You Do That? The Most Fruitless Question A Parent Can Ask.
By Saralee Sky
Picture this: You walk in to your family room. A moment ago it was a peaceful scene, with your two children playing quietly. Now all is chaos. Your 1 year old is squalling, milk and cereal dripping down his face. The dog is happily lapping up the puddle of milk and cereal that made it to the floor. Your 4 year old is standing there, a guilty smile on her face, her milky spoon still in her hand. And what do you do? You look at your 4 year old and demand, "Why did you DO that?" And what does she say? "I don't know." Or worse, "Because."

Number 1 Key To Good Parenting
By Pam Jarvis
The numbers are chilling. Teen suicide and homicide rates have tripled from twenty years ago. There is a 50% increase in childhood obesity. Teenage pregnancy rates are the highest for any Western society. SAT scores have plummeted. 15-20% of kids are flunking kindergarten. Millions of children are medicated to be more "manageable" at home and school. One of the ongoing tragedies in our culture is that these problems are occurring in our most precious national resource, our children. Can these stats be turned around? Yes, and much of it can be prevented.

Earlier this year, Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) surprised us all when Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers announced it would support the iPhone by creating a standalone $100 million iFund focused on making investments in companies building iPhone applications. Six months later, KPCB has written five checks, and the iPhone has turned out to be a dynamic marketplace with millions of applications being downloaded by tons of eager users. Today, I caught up with Matt Murphy, who is managing the iPhone-focused fund, to discuss everything from the potential opportunity that the iPhone represents to what's next for mobile to *Google* Android and the recent announcement that Cyriac Roeding, the former EVP of mobile at *CBS*, will be joining KPCB as an entrepreneur-in-residence.
Here's excerpts from the interview:
— Why did KPCB decide on creating a fund focused on one platform? Doesn't that go against the grain of VC's who like to diversify their risks? "The way we look at the iPhone is that it is the leading platform, and by far has the most advanced data applications. Over time, most companies [in the fund] will eventually diversify to other platforms, so it

Based on the book ONE BOY'S DAY, A Specimen Record of Behavior by Roger G. Barker and Herbert F. Wright
A re-discovered 1951 sociological study titled One Boy's Day is the focus of Mikel Rouse's most ambitious performance to date, a 13-hour durational music, media and participatory installation that will premiere at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Spring 2020.
On April 26, 1949, eight observers, led by social scientists Roger Barker and Herbert Wright from the Midwest Psychological Field Station, painstakingly documented every word and movement of Raymond Birch, a seven-year-old boy from rural Kansas. Heralded as a sociological milestone, their 435-page report aimed to describe "how children actually behave in real-life situations" and offer insight into what makes an "ideal" American community. Divided into seven parts and structured as scenes from a play, the study is a meticulously timed minute-by-minute transcription of Raymond's every activity from getting up and eating breakfast to playing with his friends, and from studying English and participating in music class to eating dinner and going to bed.
Over the next two years, director and composer Mikel Rouse together with video and set designers Jim Findlay and Jeff Sugg, lighting designer Hideaki Tsutsui, sound designer Christopher Ericson, music arranger Matthew Gandolfo and producer FuturePerfect Productions will transform Barker and Wright's text into a multi-media playground and music concert precisely following the day-long observations made by Barker and his associates. Students and teachers from each venue's local community will be invited onstage to occupy mimetic models of the boy's home, school, playground and town courthouse.
In Illinois, for example, participating schools will represent communities from within the cities of Urbana and Champaign, and from surrounding rural towns and villages. School types will range from Spanish-English dual-language public schools, to private schools and homeschooling families. Students and teachers will receive instructions on how to inhabit these theatrical spaces and perform continuations of their everyday lives (e.g. participating in a classroom lesson, playing with classmates, eating dinner, etc.). Rouse's musical score will accompany their activities and movements combining ambient electronics, a string quartet, and sung and spoken libretto derived from the text. The score will offer opportunities for invited local musicians to follow along and improvise in their own musical styles, evoking the townspeople of the original study. Audiences will experience the work as a living exhibition, a tightly scored ensemble performance and a playful re-presentation of everyday life. During the day, the work will be available to children, teachers and families and then will continue into the evening with a presentation that is directed toward adult viewing and interaction.
Just as Barker and Wright problematized their own methodologies of observation, questioning the degree to which their presence interfered with the ability to objectively record and notate Raymond's life, Rouse will deploy contemporary technologies of observation to complicate his own relationship to the audience and participants on the stage. In a symbolic move that inverts the power dynamics of observer and observed described in the original study, Rouse will give over the technologies of surveillance at various intervals to select members of the audience and local participants inviting them to create their own video vignettes from the activities on stage.
For as one of the townspeople in the original study remarked to the researchers "you'll be watching us, but don't forget: we'll be watching you."
Videographers will combine this footage in real time with pre-recorded images of contemporary life, projected onto two video cubes, creating a profound tableau of humanity orchestrated by music and light.
Seeking the extraordinary in the mundane, Rouse's staging of One Boy's Day will serve as a site for occupying the past, reflecting upon the present, and organizing our futures. The work will open up the textual account of one white boy from a largely homogenous middle-class 1949 midwestern town to the tensions and multiplicities of a diverse present day America. As Americans' perceptions of race relations have become more troublesome and as the rural/urban divide intensifies and becomes greatly politicized, One Boy's Day will grapple with the ideal that Barker put forth, asking audiences to inhabit the text and construct alternative versions and counter-images of community and childhood.
Presentations of One Boy's Day will take place in performing arts facilities that can accommodate longform installations and music, including museums, theaters and alternative spaces. It will premiere at Krannert's Colwell Playhouse, a 641 seat continental style theater with a 38 x 30 stage and will be modular and scalable to accommodate various venues.
FuturePerfect is seeking partners and co-commissioners for One Boy's Day.
