NEW YORK CITY. Tocqueville's letter to his mother, May 14 1831, concerning the visiting practices of Americans.
For instance, we were utterly astounded the first day to see the women come to breakfast at eight o'clock in the morning carefully dressed for the whole day. It's the same, we are told, in all the private houses. One can with great propriety call on a lady at nine o'clock in the morning.
NEW YORK CITY. May 15, 1831. Tocqueville's diary entry on the American preoccupation with business, and the busyness of all American.s
All the Americans whom we have encountered up to now, even to the simplest shop salesman, seem to have received, or wish to appear to have received, a good education. Their manners are grave, deliberate, reserved, and they all wear the same clothes.
All the customs of life show this mingling of the two classes which in Europe take so much trouble to keep apart. The women dress for the whole day at seven in the morning. At nine o'clock one can already make calls. At noon one is received everywhere. Everything bears the stamp of a very busy existence. We have not yet seen any fashionables. I even have the notion that good morals are here the result less of severity of principles than of the impossibility in which all the young people find themselves of thinking of love or busying themselves seriously with it.
NEW YORK. June 9, 1831. Letter from Tocqueville to his sister, describing the courtship and marriage habits of the Americans.
We are living, dear sister, in the most singular country in the world. You have certainly heard it said that in England the married women lead a sedentary life, and that the young ladies enjoyed, on the contrary, a great liberty. Very well! Know that here they are as far [advanced] over England as England is over us. When a woman marries, it's as if she entered a convent, except however that it is not taken ill that she have children, and even many of them. Otherwise, it's the life of a nun; no more balls; hardly any more society; a husband as estimable as cold for all company; and that to the life eternal. I ventured the other day to ask one of these charming recluses just how, exactly, a wife could pass her time in America. She answered me, with great sang-froid: in admiring her husband. I'm very sorry: but that's the literal translation of the English. I tell you this so that, should you happen to be bored at home, you may know what you have to do.
So much for married women: you will comprehend the young ladies even less. Imagine the daughters of the first families, slim and elegant, from one o'clock in the afternoon on, tripping all the streets of New-York, doing their shopping, riding horseback, without father or mother, uncle or aunt, without even a servant. You are not at the end. A young man-and this has already happened to us several times-encounters on his path one of these travellers. If one is already acquainted, one stops, one chats in quite friendly fashion a quarter of an hour at the corner curb-stone, and at the end of the conversation the young lady invites you to come to see her and indicates the hour at which you will find her at home. At the said hour, in effect, [one goes calling on] Mademoiselle So-and-so, and one finds her often alone in her father's parlour, of which she does you the honours. Everybody tells us that this order of things has none of the inconveniences that one might foresee. Perhaps. If, as they also assure us, the tete-a-tete is ordinarily spent in discussing the value of wool and the price of cotton. We often see in society what are called accordes. They are a young man and a young woman who are to be married in several months and who are constantly together meanwhile, paying court to each other most respectfully. The fact is, there is not the least question here of playing the butterfly. Peste! One would speedily get burnt at the candle. These people here are very straightforward. They take words in the most literal meaning; and if one did not turn one's tongue seven times before speaking, as counsels the sage, one might find oneself much embarrassed.
NEW YORK. June 10 1831. Tocqueville's conversation with Albert Gallatin, concerning the morals of American men and women with regard to chastity and adultery.
I. Is it true, as I am told, that morals are pure?
He. Conjugal fidelity is admirably kept. It's not always thus with virtue before marriage. It very often happens in the country (not in our cities) that the extreme liberty enjoyed by the young people of both sexes has its drawbacks. The savage peoples who surround us carry disregard for chastity before marriage even further. They do not regard it as a moral obligation.
NEW YORK. Country Estate of Mr. Prime. June 15, 1831. Tocqueville's diary account of a wedding reception; American women's attempt at music.
They have here a good custom, a few days after a young woman is married she has it announced that she wants to see all her friends and that she will be at home or at her parents' at such and such a day. That being known, every one who has any relations with the family comes, and all the wedding visits are made at once. It's to an assemblage of that kind that we have been. The reunion place is at two leagues from New-York, in a charming country house situated on the edge of the water. The evening was magnificent, the ocean breeze freshened the air, the lawn on which the house was placed sloped right down to the shore, great trees surrounded it on all sides. They have flies in this country which give as much light as glow worms. The trees are filled with these little animals, one would have said a million sparks leaping in the air. It was really a very extraordinary scene.
The only thing overdone was the music. Don't take me for a barbarian. It was de trop because it resembled what one hears in the booths at a fair. This people is, without contradiction, the most unhappily organized, in matter of harmony, that it's possible to imagine. If only they realized the truth. But they are a hundred leagues from suspecting it. We spend our life enduring howling of which one has no conception in the old world. What the young ladies who regale us with this musique miaulante affect most are its difficult passages. And I answer for it that if their object is to produce contrasting and discordant sounds, it would be impossible to succeed better and very hard to carry the thing any further. Aside from the fact that one is never sure that the air is finished, it ends always like a book whose last page has been torn out. I used to think the singer had stopped short, and I would always listen instead of applauding. You must think that I speak of this subject with a sort of indignation; but note that besides the displeasure which detestable music causes, however little one has heard of good, there is always the feeling of moral violence to which one is subjected in being forced to listen, willy-nilly, and to appear pleased as well.
The other day, a propos of that, I had an amusing misadventure. We were at the house of a lady who set out to sing us a national song [Yankee Doodle, perhaps] whose air and words are comical. After the first couplet they laughed, myself with the rest of them. It was a way of applauding. The second couplet begins and I start thinking of something else, so profoundly that I soon am a total stranger to my surroundings. In the middle of my aerial voyage I hear the tune ending. I remember that one must laugh and I laugh, quite loudly even. At this explosion of gaiety every one looks at me, and I am confounded to learn that the comic song whose beginning I had heard had ended five minutes before, and that the song which had just put me into such a cheerful mood was the most plaintive, the most tearful, in short the most chromatic, of the whole American repertory.
MICHIGAN: ON THE STEAMBOAT SUPERIOR. August 1, 1831. Description of Pioneer Life for Women.
In speaking of the pioneer one cannot forget the companion of his miseries and dangers. Look across the hearth at the young woman, who, while seeing to the preparation of the meal, rocks her youngest son on her knees. Like the emigrant, this woman is in her prime; like him, she can recall the ease of her first years. Her clothes even yet proclaim a taste for adornment ill extinguished. But time has weighed heavily on her: in her prematurely pale face and her shrunken limbs it is easy to see that existence has been a heavy burden for her. In face, this frail creature has already found herself exposed to unbelievable miseries. Scarce entered upon life, she had to tear herself away from the mother's tenderness and from those sweet fraternal ties that a young girl never abandons without shedding tears, even when going to share the rich dwelling of a new husband. The wife of the pioneer has torn herself in one instant and without hope of returning from that innocent cradle of her youth. It's against the solitude of the forests that she has exchanged the charms of society and the joys of the home. It's on the bare ground of the wilderness that her nuptual couch was placed. To devote herself to austere duties, submit herself to privations which were unknown to her, embrace an existence for which she was not made, such was the ocupation of the finest years of her life, such have been for her the delights of marriage. Want, suffering, and loneliness have affected her constitution but not bowed her courage. Mid the profound sadness painted on her delicate features, you easily remark a religious resignation and profound peace and I know not what natural and tranquil firmness confronting all the miseries of life without fearing or scorning them.
Around this woman crowd half-naked children, shining with health, careless of the morrow, veritable sons of the wilderness. From time to time their mother throws on them a look of melancholy and joy. To see their strength and her weakness one would say that she has exhausted herself giving them life and that she does not regret what they have cost her.
The house inhabited by these emigrants has no interior partitions or attic. In the single apartment which it contains the entire family comes in the evening to seek refuge: this dwelling forms of itself a small world. It's the ark of civilization lost in the midst of an ocean of leaves. It's a sort of oasis in the desert. A hundred feet beyond, the eternal forest stretches about it its shade and the solitude begins again.
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. September 21, 1831. Tocqueville's diary entry on the reasons for moral purity.
American morals are, I believe, the purest existing in any nation, which may be attributed, it seems to me, to five principal causes:
1. Their physical constitution. They belong to a northern race, even though almost all living in a climate warmer than that of England.
2. Religion still possesses there a great power over the souls. They have even in part retained the traditions of the most severe religious sects.
3. They are entirely absorbed in the business of making money. There are no idle among them. They have the steady habits of those who are always working.
4. There is no trace of the prejudices of birth which reign in Europe, and it is so easy to make money that poverty is never an obstacle to marriage. Thence it results that the individuals of two sexes unite ..., only do so from mutual attraction, and find themselves tied at a time in life when the man is almost always more alive to the pleasures of the heart than those of the senses. It is rare that a man is not married at 2-+ years.
5. In general the women receive an education that is rational (even a bit raisonneuse.) The factors above enumerated make it possible without great inconvenience to allow them an extreme liberty; the passage from the state of young girl to that of a married woman has no dangers for her.
Mr Clay, who appears to have occupied himself with statistical researches on this point, told Beaumont that at Boston the prostitutes numbered about 2000 (I have great difficulty believing this.) They are recruited among country girls who, after having been seduced, are obliged to flee their district and family, and find themselves without resource. It seems that the young blood of the city frequents them, but the fact is concealed with extreme care, and the evil stops there, without ever crossing the domestic threshold or troubling the families. A man who should not be convicted but suspected of having an intrigue would immediately be excluded from society. All doors would be shut to him.
Mr. Dewight was saying to me that a venereal disease was a mark of infamy which was very hard to wash away. On the other hand, the police do not concern themselves in any way with the prostitutes. The Americans say that it would be to legitimate the evil to oppose to it such a remedy. Mr. Dewight said to us (what we had already had occasion to remark in the prison reports) that of all the prisoners those who most rarely reformed were the women of bad morals.
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. September 22, 1831. Tocqueville's interview with Franz Lieber on the purity of morals.
We asked him: Is it true that morals are as pure here as they pretend?
He replied: Morals are less good in the lower classes than among the enlightened ; however, I think them superior to those of the same classes in Europe. As for the educated, their morals are as perfect as it is possible to imagine them. I don't believe that there is a single intrigue in Boston society. A woman suspected would be lost. The women there are, however, very coquettish; they even display their coquetry with greater boldness than with us because they know that they cannot go beyond a certain point, and that no one believes that they overstep that bound. After all, I like still better our women of Europe with their weaknesses, than the glacial and egotistical virtue of the Americans.
Q. To what do you attribute the unbelievable master that one obtains here over the passions?
A. To a thousand causes: to their physical constitution, to Puritanism, to their habits of industry, to the absence of an unemployed and corrupted class, such as a garrison for example, to the early marriages, to the very construction of the houses, which renders the secret of an illicit liason amost impossible to keep.
Q. They say that the young men are not sages before marriage.
A. No. They are even, like the English, gross in their tastes, but like them they make a complete separation between the society in which they habitually live, and that which serves their pleasure. These are like two worlds which have nothing in common together. The young men never seek to seduce honest women.
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. October 28, 1831. Tocqueville's conversation with James Brown concerning the status of Quadroon Women in New Orleans.
We spoke of New Orleans, where he lived for twenty years. He said to me: There is in New Orleans a clas of women dedicated to concubinage, the women of colour. Immorality is for them, as it were, a profession carried on with fidelity. A coloured girl is destined from her birth to become the mistress of a white. When she becomes marriageable, her mother takes care to provide for her. It's a sort of temporary marriage. It lasts ordinarily for several years, during which it is very rare that the girl so joined can be reproached with infidelity. In this fashion they pass from hand to hand until, having acquired a certain competence, they marry for good with a man of their own condition and introduce their daughters into the same life.
There's an order of things truly contrary to nature, said I; it must be the cause of considerable disturbance in society.
Not so much as you might believe, replied Mr. Brown. The rich young men are very dissolute, but their immorality is restricted to the field of coloured women. White women of French or American blood have very pure morals. They are virtuous, first, I imagine, because virtue pleases them, and next because the women of colour are not; to have a lover is to join their class.
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. October 30, 1831. Tocqueville's conversation with lawyer John Hazlehurst Bonval Latrobe on the efforts of Catholics to win members.
[Catholics] are taking on an extraordinary increase, and following a very clever policy...In the last twenty years they have, with great skill, turned all their efforts toward education. They have established seminaries and schools (colleges). The best institutions of education in Maryland are Catholic; they even have schools in other states. These are full of Protestants. There is perhaps not a single young man of Maryland who, having received a good education, has not been brought up by Catholics. Although they take good care not to speak to the students about their beliefs, you can appreciate that they always exercise a certain influence. Furthermore, they have very adroitly turned most of their efforts to the education of women. They think that there where the mother is Catholic, the children must almost always be the same.
ON THE STEAMBOAT FROM WHEELING TO OHIO. December 1, 1831. Tocqueville's diary entry on Class Equality in Marriage.
When one wishes to estimate the equality between different classes, one must always come to the question of how marriages are made. That's the bottom of the matter. An equality resulting from necessity, courtesy or politics may exist on the surface and deceive the eye. But when one wishes to practise this equality in the intermarriage of familes, then one puts one's finger on the sore.
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. December 27, 1831. Tocqueville's conversation with M. Guillemin on the fate of mulattoes in New Orleans.
There exists, as a matter of fact, a great deal of immorality among the coloured people. But how could it be otherwise? The law destines, as it were, coloured women to debauchery. You've no doubt noticed, in the place reserved for mulattoes in the theatre and elsewhere, women as white as the most beautiful Europeans. Eh bien! For all that they belong to the proscribed race, because tradition makes it known that there is African blood in their veins. Yet all these women, and many others who, without being as white, possess yet almost the tint and the graces of Europeans and have often received and excellent education, are forbidden by law to marry into the ruling and rich race of whites. If they wish to contract a legitimate union, they have to marry with the men of their caste, and partake their humiliation. For the men of colour don't even enjoy the shameful privilege accorded to their women. Even did neither their colour nor their education betray them, and that's often the case, they would not be the less condemned to perpetual indignities. Not a [illegible] white but has the right to maltreat the happy person in his way and to thrust him in to the muck crying, "Get out of the way, mulatto!"
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. January 1832. Tocqueville's diary on the relationship between blacks, Indians, and whites; Tocqueville's account of a slaveholder with slave children.
Near Montgomery in the state of Alabama, I witnessed a little scene that made me reflect. Near the house of a planter what a charming little white girl (his daughter) whom a young Indian girl was holding in her arms and showering with the most maternal caresses. By her side was a negress amusing the child. The latter, in its slightest gestures, showed a consciousness of the superiority which, according to its youthful experience, already raised it above the two companions, whose caresses and attention it received with a sort of feudal condescension. Squatting before it, and spying out its slightest movements, the negress seemed curiously divided between the attachment, and the respectful fear, that her young mistress inspired. While even in the effusion and tenderness of the Indian girl there was visible something free, something a little savage, contrasting strangely with the submissive posture and humble gestures of her companion. Something I couldn't see having attracted her attention in the woods, she got up brusquely, pushed the child aside with some roughness, and plunged into the foliage...
I encountered in the Southern part of the Union an old man who formerly had lived in illegitimate commerce with one of his negresses. He had had by her several children who, on coming into the world, had become the slaves of their father. Several times the latter had thought of at least bequeathing them their liberty, but hears had slipped by before he could clear the obstacles placed by the legislators in the way of manumission. During this time old age had come, and he was going to die. He pictured to himself then, his sons dragged from market to market, and passing from paternal authority under the rod of a stranger. These horrible images threw his expiring imagination into delirium, I saw him the prey of the anguish of despair, and I understood then how nature could avenge the wounds given by its laws.
EN ROUTE BY STEAMBOAT TO NEW ORLEANS. December 27, 1831. Tocqueville's interview with Sam Houston on the Indians.
Q. These notions of justice you speak of are very crude. They only apply to murder anyhow. What happens in case of theft?
A. Theft was absolutely unknown among the Indians before the Europeans introduced among them objects calculated to be a lively temptation to their cupidity.
Since then laws have had to be made to punish stealing. Among the Creeks, who are beginning to civilize themselves and have a written penal code, stealing is punished by whipping. It's the chiefs who pronounce sentence.
Adultery by the woman is punished in the same way; in addition they usually slit the nose and ears of the guilty. Creek law punishes fornication equally. Q. What is the position of women among the Indians?
A. Complete servitude. The women are burdened with all the unpleasant jobs and live in great degradation.
Q. Is polygamy allowed?
A. Yes. You can have as many wives as you can feed. Divorce is likewise permitted.

'Normandy Perk' to celebrate Grand Opening on Saturday, May 17
That's according to the new owner of Advertiser 'Normandy Perk,' Brandi Messer.
"The local support has been incredible, and we are so pleased to be able to provide hometown coffee to the residents of the Normandy Park, Des Moines and Burien areas," Messer went on to say.
Normandy Perk has been open since late March of this year in the former 'Oh Chocolate' location in the Normandy Park Towne Center with a dedicated staff of Messer and her five baristas.
"Normandy Perk's goal is to not only serve the community with day changing coffee and talented baristas, but super serve the community by being a welcoming destination for our neighbors and small groups to enjoy themselves. Poetry slams and local vocals will soon commence, and featured art from local artists is now on display and for sale inside Normandy Perk."
Messer went on to say:
"There are many great coffee places in the region, both independent and corporate. So a question we asked ourselves when deciding to start Normandy Perk is, what is it that we will do differently? It starts with the beans and how we brew them. Several months ago we began the search at Seattle's Coffee Fest for the perfect roaster. We sampled over 70! After many sleepless nights (because of all of the caffeine), we chose the highly regarded Venia Coffee Roasters out of Bothell."
Normandy Perk's coffee beans are direct trade from Ethiopia, Brazil, Columbia, Sumatra and Guatemala. The beans from the best coffee growing earth on the planet are roasted to perfection by Venia's Master Roaster Keith Eckert and delivered fresh to Normandy Perk weekly.
From there, the baristas at Normandy Perk follow a rigid standard for hand crafting each drink to perfection from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week.
Also on the menu is light fare, including muffins, biscotti and pretzel sandwiches available in the shop or via the drive through.
Normandy Perk will be hosting a Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting celebration on Saturday May 17 from 3-‐6 p.m. This event will feature half off all drinks and many great deals from the other merchants of Normandy Park Towne Center.

Most dog attacks take place when an unsupervised dog charges up to investigate a dog on a leash. "It's a dog's nature to investigate the new dog by sticking his nose in the new dog's crotch," says Minnerly. "Dogs instinctively attack the stomach because gut wounds nearly always prove fatal. It's a lot like the way lions bring down prey in the wild. If you get in the way, the dog will bite you, too. The worst thing you can do during a dog attack is run," says Minnerly. "If you run, the dog sees you as prey, and he'll chase you down."
If the unthinkable happens, and a vicious dog attacks you or someone you love, quickly search your environment for weapons to hold the dog at bay. If a bite is truly inevitable and you find no weapons at close range, use a shirt or jacket to wrap your weak-sided arm. Offer the protected arm to the dog as a distraction while you call for help or attempt to back to safety. Often in a frenzied attempt to get at you, an attacking dog will bite almost anything.
A stick, a bag or a book may provide a valuable substitute for an arm or leg as you try to escape. It's always a good idea to carry weapons such as mace, a knife or even a handgun. Real survivalists carry more than one weapon. Two knives, one carried on each side prepares you to survive an incapacitating wound to either your right or left side and allows you to fight on.
If you carry a knife, cut the throat, stab the eyes or the face of the dog for the quickest reaction. Stabs to the body don't always take effect in time to prevent the dog from biting you. Attacking the dog's face, jaw muscles or throat will disable it quicker and may prevent serious injury to the person.

Has anyone done any theme conversions from WP themes to use on Elefant? I am working on one now. I have a main site I would really like to use Elefant on but my lack of knowledge of Elefants true capabilities are keeping me attached to WP for this project. Opinions anyone? I am open to suggestions for sure.
What I've done with Wordpress, since themes are usually so messy due to all the necessary hard-coded PHP in them, is save the rendered output from the browser and rebuild it from that, using the original theme files as more of a cross-reference.
I'd love if there was a way to export themes from Wordpress to other formats, but Wordpress is particularly bad for that...
Yeah...tons of extras in the coding I've noticed. Platform seems to work well and is a major player, but why is the coding so bloated?? Seems like they could do a little better with it. I really want to build my site on Elefant...I just need to learn way more things...fast. I am on a time frame somewhat. Is Elefant basically capable of sidebar widgets and all like WP only no plugins to do the work for you? I would have to hand code them to do what I want right? For example, a twitter feed plugin in the sidebar...that's one example.
In a template, you define a sidebar like this:
{! blocks/my-block-id !}
You can name the ID anything you want, and that area will be editable. That's all the technical setup required.
To make it dynamic, edit the block and use the Dynamic Objects button in the WYSIWYG editor (last button on the right), which gives you a couple dozen embeddable objects, including blog posts, RSS reader, embedded flash/audio/video, social plugins for Facebook, Twitter, and G+, dynamic menus, image galleries/slideshows, Google maps, etc. There is a Twitter feed option too.
Elefant can definitely do a lot of what Wordpress can, just a bit differently. Templates are much simpler in Elefant, but to design a template/theme for any system you need HTML + CSS... no getting around that ;)
Yeah...I understand that. I am getting there for sure. Now...if I want to add more embedded objects, I should follow the same procedure as I did for the blogs app correct? And in regards to the WP Theme...you said you basically just view source and copy that and modify as needed?
Correct and correct :) The steps from view source are:
Then it's just a matter of testing/repeating step 4 until it's done. And here's a list of the main template tags (not including blocks) that you'll want:
So you click on each stylesheet from the page your viewing and copy its content to a new a stylesheet into your layout folder? Or are you referring to a WP theme you may have locally already in a folder on your computer?
If you have it locally, just grab it from there, or if it's on your server better to use FTP than trying to grab all CSS and images from the view source.
Okay...just checking. I didn't know if you meant that you pulled from someone's site that you liked or just using a wp theme you had local. Got ya now.
One last thing...if I wanted to use a grid that I find I like, do I just upload the css to the proper folder and call it into my layout and reference it that way? Kind of you like you have for 960gs?
That's right. Also, if you're interested in responsive design, there are a few responsive grid systems popping up. Skeleton is the name of one I know, and even Twitter's Bootstrap went responsive in the latest version. Google around a bit and you should find one that works for you.
I have seen Skeleton, 960gs, Gridiculous, 1140 grid...there are tons. How do you like Skeleton? I have downloaded Twitters Bootstrap but not sure how current it is.
I do like Skeleton's class naming (e.g.,
class="six columns"), and their typography defaults are much nicer than 960 too (I also feel like 960 needs a serious update too). They also go a bit beyond what 960 and others do with their button and form styles, although not as far as Bootstrap so they're more lightweight.
Bootstrap is handy for putting a UI together very quickly too, although now we're starting to see sites that all look the same since it provides so much out of the box...
Got ya...I didn't like 960 when I looked at it...I have Skeleton and Bootstrap downloaded. Going to check them out and see what I can come up with. The class naming is definitely nicely setup.
Well...I am in the midst of a Wordpress theme conversion. Half is decent so far but it's still quite a mess. Check it out at http://cms.wetype.it The one thing I do notice that is somewhat bothering me is having to reposition my content again and make it work with the css. Bit of a pain but should be nice in the end.
Hmmm...it was looking good till I had to change the location of the js files. If the js files are located under layouts/mytheme/js folder...do I reference them like that in the code? It seems to not be able to find them. I have this exact theme installed on a website running WP. If I set the location to point to where they are on the other site, the theme starts to look good. For example...the link would be www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/js/custom.js If I leave that link in the coding for my elefant site using the same theme...it works and looks pretty good but once I change the location of the js files, it breaks. Can you tell me what path is supposed to be in the html file for referencing the js files? I tried a number of ways.
If you put the
custom.js file into
layouts/mytheme/js, then you would refer to it like this:
<script src="/layouts/mytheme/js/custom.js"></script>
Refer to them using absolute paths since URLs can take forms like
/blog/post/123/my-blog-post which will screw up relative paths in URLs. Remember, it's relative to the URL of the current request, not the filesystem on the server, but absolute paths work relative to any URL.
Yeah...I referred to them as /layouts/mytheme/js/custom.js but for some reason under Inspect element...it would show a 404 error for the file. Strange. I know more than what it seems...but didn't know if different rules applied considering I haven't use a framework before.
No worries, I often try to make sure I cover things in extra detail in case it may help future visitors with similar issues too :)
If your file is definitely there, and you're using an absolute path, could it be the file permissions? Can't think of much else it could be...
I will look into it some more. I do know that porting the theme over is a bit of a task but doesn't seem to be too bad.
Alright...I am sitting here working on this conversion...thinking. Probably too much thinking. Question I have for you is this...as I sit here asking myself if this is really a good choice to do, I cannot seem to convince myself to continue with this theme. I mean...it seems like by the time I strip it all down...there isn't anything left to it and it looks nothing like my WP site does. Should I just do themes from scratch since it seems to be a bit easier? Or am I missing something in the conversion process? What's your opinion?
Really depends on the theme and what you're after. Which theme is it btw?
Boldy by Site5. Its a nice theme just a lot going on with it at once...jquery slider...and some other fancy stuff. What I am after is to mock the theme but make it available to all for elefant. I kind of want to become a theming guy on this project. Contribution to society I guess...and a learning experience all at the same time.
I couldn't sleep. That should give you a good jumping off point to work with it. There is a few css flaws in it.
If you need the whole dropdown menu thing working let me know, I have a navigation handler that displays the entire navigation tree the way you would need it. I just never got around to adding it for jbroadway to pull into the master.
Good luck. :)
Very nice work ShortJ. Thanks a bunch! I have left so much coding in there compared to yours. Another thing I am seeing and maybe y'all can test this out. I notice that if I have for example, boldy.html, contact.html, and blog.html say and 3 stylesheets to match for the said html pages in my theme folder and I activate that theme. I get the following issues....The main page boldy.html will work for the index page but say the blog and contact might look like a default template. Now...if I delete the other folders I have in my layouts folder such as montreal, bluesatellite, etc....and just leave in my themes folder, my pages work and look as should. I have all the pages under extra options set as default layout but have my theme set as default in designer section of admin.
It is very strange the issues I am having. Not sure whats up with that. Do either of you have multiple folders in your layouts for themes you have created that have multiple pages? I also notice that if I only have the themename.html file and themename.css sheet in there and use that same layout and style for all pages created on my site, it works fine. Seems to be only if you want more than one page and one stylesheet.
No problem. :) I had never really done a theme conversion for elefant before, I can tell you that that was about the quickest conversion I have ever had the pleasure of doing. Elefant is awesome!
I do know that sometimes things are finicky if you have multiple files named the same thing. Also, caching plus same files names causes some weird collisions. I'll have to take a look at the layouts core and see if anything can be done, maybe you could try to confirm my suspicions as well.
Yeah...I am looking into it as well. Grr...but now since you have successfully converted the theme, I have to find another. This time I'm not telling y'all which one I am doing! Haha...I need to learn. But I will use the one you did to compare what I was doing so that I can see what I was doing wrong. I was about 75% done but it was still looking a bit rough because I was having issues placing my js and jquery files in proper locations.
ShortJ...did you do the suggested method of installing the theme and grabbing the HTML code? Or did you just save the php code from index.php on the theme and convert it that way?
I just used wget command line magic. So basically I had the HTML file (no php code) and just went through and converted that with elefant logic and blocks.
You did wget from the wordpress site? Not sure exactly what you mean. The reason I ask is because I do have a test WP site I can install the theme on and pull the html code but if there is an easier way or cleaner way, I am all ears.
I just used wget on site5's installation of boldy. Just skipped the install step. You can do it locally too, no real difference. I was just too lazy to go through installing Wordpress stuff.

I've lately been thinking about the best way to keep track of the beers I drink. It wasn't as much of a problem a couple of years ago because I drank the same dozen beers or so and didn't have as much selection in Michigan. However, since coming to Colorado, I'm confronted with a daunting selection of beer. With dozens of options in just the IPA category, it gets tough to decide which to get and remember if I like them or not.
My plan was to get a few selections from a certain category of beer and just write down what I thought of each and which I like the best. Then I could compare the winners of each round with each other to get my favorites from each category. Then when I'm in the mood for a certain type of beer, I just get my favorite selections of that type. I think I'm going to do that still, but I'm going to use ratebeer.com instead of just writing something down.
I don't have a lot of confidence in my ability to follow through, but we'll see!

Joe Lovano
Meant To Be features guitarist John Scofield's 1990 pianoless quartet on eleven of his compositions. During the best selections (such as "Big Fun" and "Mr. Coleman To You") one can hear the influence of not just the original Ornette Coleman Quartet but the Keith Jarrett/Dewey Redman Quintet. Joe Lovano's increasingly original tenor sound (mixing together John Coltrane, Dewey Redman and even Eddie Harris on this set) works well with Scofield, and the tight but loose rhythm section (bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Bill Stewart). "Eisenhower" (a slightly tongue-in-cheek, boppish romp) and "Some Nerve" (which uses New Orleans parade rhythms) are also memorable performances. The colorful and enjoyable set is modern mainstrem music of the 1990s, stretching ahead while holding on to the roots of hard bop, funk and fusion. ~ Scott Yanow

Despite tension, and a report of a Cabinet walkout by Labour Party ministers, the government is adamant there will be no row-back on any aspect of the budget in the face of growing criticism from coalition backbenchers.
Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte on Sunday ruled out any change to the cuts in child benefit and respite care announced last Wednesday.
When asked on RTE whether pressure from Fine Gael and Labour backbench TDs (members of Parliament) would force the government to revise its decision to cut the respite grant by €325, he replied, "No u-turn. I understand perfectly well how difficult some of the decisions are."
Rabbitte's declaration was supported by spokespersons for Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny and Tanaiste (Deputy Prime Minister) Eamon Gilmore, who confirmed that the two government leaders were determined no changes would be made.
There were fears if concessions were granted on any one issue everything would unravel.
The unity in government that there would be no u-turn came despite a week earlier when Gilmore led Labour ministers out of the cabinet room in the final stages of budget preparation, as reported in The Sunday Business Post.
It was the most serious breakdown in relations since the government was formed and threatened the very future of the coalition.
The split was over Labour opposition to a three percent across-the-board cut in social welfare payments demanded by Fine Gael in return for a three percent increase in the universal social charge (USC) for people on incomes of over €100,000.
The Labour ministers eventually returned to cabinet and Kenny and Gilmore had a two-hour private meeting. During their talk Gilmore agreed to drop Labour's demand for the USC hike, but only in return for a package of capital taxes and taxes on savings. These were introduced in the budget and allowed Labour leaders to claim that the tax package was aimed at the better off.
Still, many of the other tax measures in the budget hit the less well-off harder and this week the back-bench fallout from the events is continuing.
The budget, designed to save €3.5 million, was delivered for the first time by two ministers – Finance Minister Michael Noonan and Minister for Expenditure and Public Reform Brendan Howlin – in the Dail (Parliament) last week.
It added an extra €1 tax to every bottle of wine, 10 cent to a pint of beer and 10 cent to a packet of 20 cigarettes, and raised Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) by three percent to 33 percent.
It also introduced a €10 cut in child benefit from €140 to €130 a month, and introduced a new property tax of 0.18 percent for homes worth up to €1 million and 0.25 percent for homes worth more than that.

Kelly Clarkson to Star in New Singing Competition Show 'Duets
She may love 'The Voice,' but Kelly Clarkson is taking her mentoring talents to a new singing competition series called 'Duets,' and fans will certainly recognize her co-hosts.
Clarkson will be joined by Robin Thicke and Lionel Richie, all three of whom made guest appearances on 'The Voice' on this week, as well as country star Jennifer Nettles. The four celebs will travel the country to find the perfect duet partners instead of making contestants go through a traditional audition process.
Each star will select two singers to be their duet partners, and will perform in front of a live studio audience with one of their proteges every week. Clarkson considers this a great chance to help "mold someone into whatever they want to do with their career."
"The simple fact that I get to go out and find two people I believe in, sing with them every week and help them accomplish their dream is an amazing thing I can't wait to be a part of," the pop star said in a statement.
While having the opportunity to perform with some of the biggest names in music is enough of a gift, the winner of the competition will score a recording contract with Hollywood Records. Duets will premiere on ABC this summer.

Thanks, BC Book Prizes!
Original article at: http://myemail.constantcontact.com/The-BC-Book-Prizes-is-Celebrating-30-Years-.html?soid=1101801595895&aid=ET8yRCCSqt4
We are incredibly appreciative of the community support we receive and would like to shine a spotlight on these booklovers. For our first feature we spoke with Lee Trentadue, President of the BC Booksellers Association and owner of Galiano Island Books, in anticipation of her 5th annual Galiano Literary Festival, returning on February 21st to 23rd.
Lee Trentadue has long supported the book community, although it was her daughter Mary who inspired her to open Galiano Island Books – the first bookstore on the island. Trentadue's initial introduction to the local community was through a questionairre, inquiring about the categories of books people would like to see. The community responded positively, and the bookstore now features works from authors in the Gulf Islands, throughout British Columbia, and across Canada. Readers have shown extraordinary support for nearly two decades and additionally, the Galiano Library – which opened after Galiano Island Books – has proven to be an excellent partner in hosting author readings.

I'm Tom Mueller. (More about me here.) Truth in Olive Oil was born out of my love of great olive oil, and my concern about low-grade oils being passed off as "extra virgin" in the industry today, worldwide. As a freelance writer who for the last two decades has spent much time in and around the Mediterranean, while contributing to publications including the New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, National Geographic, and New York Times Magazine, I felt I knew olive oil well. But it took an assignment for the New Yorker in 2007, "Slippery Business," to make me understand the remarkable complexity of the olive oil trade, and the immense value of olive oil itself. Since then I've gone steadily deeper into oil; in 2012 I published Extra Virginity, a book that explores this great foodstuff from many angles – cultural, culinary, chemical, criminal – and introduces the artisan producers and age-old landscapes of fine olive oil.
This site, Truth in Olive Oil, aims to pick up where my book left off, answering some of the questions raised by the book, advising consumers about buying and enjoying oil, connecting them with skilled oil-makers, celebrating the culture of this storied substance, and calling out fraudulent oils which cheat consumers and undercut honest producers. The goal of this site is to grow into a grass-roots movement of people fascinated by first-rate oil, one blog post, comment, conversation and oil tasting at a time. Our ultimate aim is nothing short of an olive oil revolution, of the kind that has already immeasurably improved quality and consumer awareness in fine wines & coffees, artisanal cheeses, microbrew beers and other premium foodstuffs.
Support for Truth in Olive Oil
To carry on the activities of Truth in Olive Oil, I rely in part on funding from concerned individuals and corporations, in the olive oil industry and outside, who want to raise the bar on olive oil quality in North America, and are worried about the current low level of oils there.
Supporters who have contributed $1000 or more to Truth in Olive Oil are listed below:
• Axiom Enterprises LLC (owner of Omaggio brand olive oil)
• Fred Cline, Cline Cellars
• Valco Enterprises LLC (owner of Ottavio brand olive oil)
These supporters have no control or influence over the content or activities of Truth in Olive Oil.
Assistance for Fresh Squeezed
I'm working with a group of creative and committed film-makers and camera people to shoot Fresh Squeezed, a documentary film about the olive oil revolution worldwide. The following companies have offered one-time assistance for aspects of the making of Fresh Squeezed:
• Boundary Bend Ltd
• Castillo de Canena Sa
• Frantoio Oleario De Carlo Snc
• Veronica Foods Co
These companies have no control or influence over the content of Fresh Squeezed, nor over the content or activities of Truth in Olive Oil.

Painted in (year): 2015
Category: original abstract paintings
TAGS: • Mixed media • Large (over 39 inch) • Abstract art • Abstract
Abstract Composition is an original, large one-of-a-kind abstract painting signed by artist Nusret Nishefci. This piece of art was created in 2015 and the painter used mixed media on cardboard. It measures 40" x 25" inch (101 x 63 cm) and is available for sale online for 1350 USD.
Born in the year 1954, Nusret Nishefci is an artist who was taught his technique through a number of educational institutes. Such institutes include the High school of Art in Peja from which he graduated as well as the Academy of Fine Art in Prishtina where he graduated in the year 1979. Nusret Nishefci creates paintings that look well put together and easy to view from a distance, but as one gets closer to them, it becomes easy to see the near frantic paintbrush strokes that take over each piece to form the paintings that he sells.

Guide and List of Electronics That Can Be Recycled
What Electronics Can Be Recycled?
You can't escape the grocery, electronics or movie rental store without seeing a small cell recycling drop box, but how can you dispose of larger, more ecologically dangerous gadgets? Electronics companies have — or been forced to! — put considerable resources into making their products recyclable. A handful of states have even passed laws that require companies to take back their goods (Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Sony all do so at no charge), but you can always be green by selling or gifting the item, or giving it to a reuse effort.

Clara.net boss blasts 'ridiculous' publishing laws
'Tube geek' case exasperation
Clara.net managing director Steve Rawlinson has branded existing laws which hold ISPs responsible for content they host as "ridiculous". Speaking to the Register about the case of "Tube geek" Geoff Marshall's blog - hosted by Clara.net and the subject of legal wranglings with Transport for London - Rawlinson reluctantly advised people to "host their sites outside the UK".
Rawlinson said companies were increasingly going after ISPs rather than individuals who publish content they do not like. Rawlinson said: "It is plainly ridiculous. We are held responsible but we cannot make a qualified legal decision on every complaint we receive. We have three staff looking at complaints. I'd like to see customers responsible for what they publish - and I think they would like that too."
He said: "As the law stands all I can do is advise people to host their sites outside the UK - and you can imagine how much I enjoy that."
Rawlinson said the problem was getting worse. He cited a case of two old ladies who both had websites selling budgerigars - each accused the other of stealing bits of content and eventually both their ISPs removed the sites.
Marshall was warned that some material on his website was copyrighted. He was also told to stop linking to other sites which allegedly contained copyright material.
Rawlinson said the case for linking to defamatory material came from the 1890s when a man in a dispute with a shop stood in the street outside and pointed up at a sign which was defamatory. Although it was never proved if he made the sign, he was found guilty by reason of pointing at it. He was unaware of it being used to go after copyrighted material.
Marshall's main complaint is that Transport for London's own website contains links to sites which contain copyright images very similar to those which were on Marshall's site.
We still haven't heard back from Transport for London.
Marshall's website is here.®

What's the difference between jail and prison?
Think short-term and long-term.
Jails are most often run by sheriffs and/or local governments and are designed to hold individuals awaiting trial or a serving short sentences (in Kansas, inmates serving 364 days or less serve their time in jail).
Prisons are operated by state governments and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and are designed to hold individuals convicted of crimes.
Jails operate work release programs, boot camps, and other specialized services. They try to address educational needs, substance abuse needs, and vocational needs while managing inmate behavior. Inmate idleness contributes to management problems. State prison systems operate halfway houses, work release centers and community restitution centers - all considered medium or minimum custody. Inmates assigned to such facilities are usually reaching the end of their sentences.
There are approximately 3,600 jails in the United States.

I've been steadily moving along, splitting time between battlegrounds and skinning, and playing about 3 days a week or so. There have been many waves of players passing through BGs on new Pandaren toons, and we're now down to seeing more traditional BG compositions --with a few sprinkling of Monks, that is.
Once I reached the mid-30s on my Rogue, BG leveling slowed to a crawl and is only now starting to pick up with the unlocking of Alterac Valley. I don't think this is by design, because leveling via BGs is heavily dependent upon your side's ability to grind out wins. And since the Alliance has had very few healers in the mid-30s to early 40s BGs, the wins have been hard to come by.
The bots are in vogue too, I see.
Eye of the Storm seems to be the biggest place where you'll find bots, because their behavior is so obvious. When a toon repeatedly:
- pops from a graveyard
- runs up to the nearest base
- pivots where the buff would ordinarily be (but isn't because it was freaking used already)
- races to the mid
I'd like to see Blizz be a bit more proactive in zapping bots, since they can't really be gotten rid of from a BG except by being marked as away, but I guess that's something they're going to have to come up with. Making it easier to kick people from BGs could turn out to be a double edged sword, because people could simply vote-kick players who are on the low end of the level range just because they're on the low end of the level range. I'm not sure Blizz wants to pay enough
Since I've got 40 levels to go before I really purchase Mists, I've found it interesting watching the lures the Blizzard has been dangling out in the internet. The free week in Pandaria, the Christmas sales, the recruit a friend, they're all out in force. I have no idea how well the bait has been working, but the fact that Blizz hasn't stopped them yet is an indicator that they're fighting hard to get all of their lost subs back. Or, perhaps, just to stay even with what they've got.
My own guild, however, hasn't recovered from Cataclysm. In fact, while some people returned for Mists, others came back and have since disappeared. Still others left the guild for other, more active raiding guilds before Mists dropped. And there have been those who came back but not because of Mists, but because their work/life/whatever has finally allowed them the free time to resub. But from the high point in Wrath where the guild was pulling in enough people to run 25s on a once-in-a-while basis, I've yet to see 10 people logged in at one time on any consistent basis, let alone raid. There have been a lot of evenings when I've been the only one logged in.
"This server's dead," I saw someone type recently in Gen Chat. Given that the crowds in Stormwind aren't very impressive --still averaging in the 50s on a given night-- I suspect that there's more truth to that than meets the eye.
Still, the game seems to be doing fairly well for itself.
Judging by the blogs I read (a subset of which is listed on our site), the most popular parts of WoW in its current state are a) Transmogs, b) Pet Battles, and c) Pandas. Raiding, instances, PvP in its various forms, and the ongoing expac story haven't been very active topics in Mists. Now, while people write a lot about Dailies, I can say that while the topic is popular, the activity is not.
I think it is safe to say that if Transmogs and Pet Battles didn't exist, then there wouldn't be nearly as many people excited about Mists as they seem to be. I'm not sure about the staying power of either through the entire expac, but Transmogs at least seems to scratch the itch of a subset of WoW players well enough to last long term. Of course, it also takes some pressure off of the Blizz art team to not repeat the BC clown gear, since people will merely transmog any "ugly" gear into something they like.
I'm not quite sure what to make about Pet Battles. Judging by bloggers alone it seems wildly popular, yet ragging on Pet Battles is a popular topic in low level BGs. I suspect that Pet Battles falls squarely into the love-it-or-hate-it category, with the people who don't really give a damn (like me) few and far between. I suspect the Pet Battle mojo will last a lot longer --more than I anticipated, anyway-- by simply creating new pets as part of upcoming patches. Pets are easier to design than raid or instance bosses, and don't need backstory like questlines, so they're incredibly easy to drop into a story as a carrot-on-a-stick for the aficionados. "Run enough dailies, get a pet!" "Go through this side questline, get a pet!" This isn't exactly new*, but Pet Battles ratchets the desire up to another level entirely.
Whether that desire will flame out is the million dollar question, and I don't have an answer for that. After all, I still can't explain the continuing fascination with Justin Bieber, and I have middle school kids in the house.
*The Miniwing quest reward in Terokkar Forest, for example.

President Obama has put Joe Biden in charge of his anti-gun initiatives. In another administration, you might assume that means Biden knows something about guns. In this administration, no such luck. Biden has drawn a lot of criticism for his advice to women who think someone may be trying to break into their house. Don't buy an AR-15, buy a double-barreled shotgun! Biden says he told his wife Jill (at least he didn't say "Dr. Jill") if she ever has a problem, take the shotgun, go out on the porch and fire two blasts. That would be a felony in most places. The NRA points out how stupid Biden's advice is:
Really, though, there is a more fundamental point. The administration's position on firearms is, to put it bluntly weird. They are enthusiastically in favor of buying shotguns, but bitterly opposed to semiautomatic rifles. Why? More people are murdered every year with shotguns than rifles. And isn't it every woman's right to decide whether she can best protect herself with a shotgun or a rifle? Why are the Democrats so intent on taking away a woman's right to choose?

43,017 people have taken this course
In the next four weeks, we will work deeply, and with intention. We'll be contacting the spirits of your ancestors, and we will be connecting, repairing and releasing the energetic strands and emotional cording that exist in every family's karma. It is serious energy work. However, I have crafted this course to be welcoming to all levels. That means, you don't need a background in spiritual intuition or shamanic ritual to do this work. I will guide you through, step by step, at a level that you feel comfortable with. This also means that if you are more advanced in your practice, you will understand intuitively where to expand and go deeper with this material. Finally, I would expect for many of you that this course will be quite intense--this is to be expected, when we are working in the realms of Divine energy and healing.
There are seven karmic shadows that are written into the history of our families. In this course, we will take on the task of healing whichever of the seven shadows are present in your family, either now or in the past. This is possible no matter how difficult or painful your family relationships have been.
The seven shadows are:
When we work in Universal energy, as you will learn to do in this course, you will learn how to correct and heal the karma of your family shadows, both backwards into the past, and forwards into the future.
Once you have decided to heal family karma and set clear intention to do so, you will find that the work itself goes very, very quickly. You will see shifts and changes in relationships you thought would never heal; you will notice changes in others and in yourself. This may seem to happen overnight, or even during or a few minutes after you do the work.
We will use a variety of spiritual tools in this work, including:
This course is designed to bring about immediate healing and change to your family relationships, and the deeper karma of your family line.
As you work through this course, you will notice:
In many cases, you will feel free, perhaps for the first time in your life. It is a great gift to be able to honor and heal our family in this way. Often, we will be the first in our lineage to have taken on this task, or we will follow in the footsteps of others who came before us, who also healed family karma.
